How can I configure bash to handle CRLF shell scripts?
Perhaps like this?
dos2unix < script.sh|bash -s
EDIT: As pointed out in the comments this is the better option, since it allows the script to read from stdin by running dos2unix and not bash in a subshell:
bash <(dos2unix < script.sh)
Here's a transparent workaround for you:
cat > $'/bin/bash\r' << "EOF"#!/bin/bashscript=$1shiftexec bash <(tr -d '\r' < "$script") "$@"EOF
This gets rid of the problem once and for all by allowing you to execute all your system's Windows CRLF scripts as if they used UNIX eol (with ./yourscript
), rather than having to specify it for each particular invocation. (beware though: bash yourscript
or source yourscript
will still fail).
It works because DOS style files, from a UNIX point of view, specify the interpretter as "/bin/bash^M". We override that file to strip the carriage returns from the script and run actual bash on the result.
You can do the same for different interpretters like /bin/sh
if you want.
