^ Enough with the hex dump stuff. It's not showing me problems, it's not showing me line numbers and it's not showing me source code I can relate to.

If you have made a change to safm.sh please post the source.

Thought there was a problem with having Carriage Returns in files meant for linux. Looking for carriage return '\r' would show if there was a problem, and the surrounding test would be sufficient to show where that was. However In the first instance would be just to see if a text file was a problem file.

Depends on what solution is being sought. Seem to be at cross purposes here. Thought there was a requirement to put something into your script to detect files with windoze line ends, so that then this could help find out how it happened. Then of course the solution mentioned above would be applied. Made illustration of this in finding '\n', so that could see would work in same way to find '\r'. Made also as documentation for future reference.

Due to issue of redundant characters in source file copied from post, for testing purposes it's best to be on ths same page using the same file. There are two ways of going about this, the first of which is to put file in cloud. But why clutter up cloud with such a small file? Apart from this file needs to be compressed, md5sum made, then login required following which Javascript needs to be turned on for upload to cloud.

Do not as a rule run with javascript enabled, as the moment it's on some other tab could start a script. It has happened after enabling javascript globally, doing something in a tab, closing same and minmising browser that some five minutes later system grinds to halt. Some unexpected script gone ballistic, cpu load at 100%, hdd light a steady red glow. Nothing for it but to open a console, kill browser, wait for disk light to go out, return to GUI, wait for browser window to close, then restart browser. Just last night left a tab with Javascript enabled, remembered, returned to tab to disable javascript, but already too late, script ballistic. :twisted:

Really don't need to risk all this extra hassle when there are perfectly good system utilities available which will do the job. Just have to do a little extra work after compressing the script: getting md5sums of .sh an .xz files, encode the binary, copy the output and paste into code block of post, then copy this code block and paste as input for decoding to binary, get md5sum and check with that of source binary, and finally decompressing and comparing check sums, which were then posted.

So, to get back exactly the same text file, is just a three step operation, taking five minutes at most. If this is too much, then I shall post the source file when satisfied it is working correctly in all aspects of operation.

^ Is in the Contents of Post 2 at the end of Post 1. The script must have been given another name by you. But honestly these are collections of a few CLI statements which could have strung together off the top of my head at the time, but which can now only remember by acronym. Which is why important while Blaze in the midst of things to try out moving a topic. ;)

Now clearly see what is annoying, which is that the moved topic does not change its subject from original. Maybe Blaze can tweak this. :unknown:

No gvfs error and my Slackware repro is http://mirror.its.dal.ca/slackware/ . Some mirrors are having trouble fixing problems due to the covid-19 situation.

Try different mirrors for the problem sites.
