Re: Can't cd in bash script
 
One way would be
tr -d '\015' < yourfile.sh > yournewfile.sh

(\015 means "octal 13", which is the CR or \r character)

Or use an editor that can control this. I can't really recommend one though (I know vim can do it, but vim isn't really a good editor to recommend to someone who likes leafpad...)

You can remove the CRs (\r):
Code:
tr -d "\r" < oldname.sh > newname.sh
Or configure leafpad to save in unix format?

Just for completeness, in vim you would use the set fileformat instruction:

Code:
:se ff=unix
Vim on the old N900 keyboard is tricky, but it's been your main tool for year then you get used to it (especially if you have gathered together a hefty vimrc file in that time).

I've compiled flip for you (see https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~craig/utility/flip/). Dead easy to check for file formats and flip between them.

Code:
[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > ./flip

Usage: ./flip [-t|-u|-d|-m] filename[s]
  Converts ASCII files between Unix, MS-DOS/Windows, or Macintosh newline formats

  Options:
      -u  =  convert file(s) to Unix newline format (newline)
      -d  =  convert file(s) to MS-DOS/Windows newline format (linefeed + newline)
      -m  =  convert file(s) to Macintosh newline format (linefeed)
      -t  =  display current file type, no file modifications

Thanks to everyone, this method worked.
