cat+grep+sed/cat+greg+cut output to variable

[cmschube]

Hey all,

I'm wondering why the following returns what it does..

bash -x tells me:

Using cut:

test=`cat avvdat.ini | grep avvdat-*.zip | cut -d= -f2`

test=$'avvdat-6477.zip\r'

Same with sed:

test=`cat avvdat.ini | sed -n '1,/^FileName/ s/^.*avv/avv/1p'`

test=$'avvdat-6477.zip\r'

But if I echo, I get right what I want

echo $test

avvdat-6477.zip

Basically I'm comparing it to a file name, and I'm getting results telling me that that the two are different, because of how the variable is formulated.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

You might have a dos2unix issue. Run dos2unix and try your script again.
If that doesn't work use od -tx1 -c <filename> to see what the end of line is. Linux, it would be 0x0a.
You will have to change your sed command to handle the extra char that is in the file.
