Re: Re: [Fwd: Re: ctrl-M]

(Freddie)Here is the snippet:

        echo "$2" | sed -e 's/\./\\./g' > /tmp/add_to_proc.tmp
        TEMPFILE=`cat /tmp/sed/add_to_proc.tmp`;

        echo -e "
        # $2 start\r
        :0:\r
        * ^From: .*$TEMPFILE.*\r
        /dev/null\r
        # $2 end\r
        " >> $PROCFILE

        echo "Sucessfully added $2 to $PROCFILE"
        exit 0

This is just for a Linux box, it will not be moved to dos. The "only" problem with the ctrl-M is that procmail will not read the file with those in there. Like I said, it shows them in vi but not when you cat the file.

could you post up your script (or at least the part that does the writing)?

Quoted 8 lines

I have a bash script writting to a .procmailrc file, but it is putting in ctrl-M's where I have \r or \015. You can see them in vi but not when you cat the file. It wouldn't be a problem, but procmail cant read it with those in there. I tried \n, but it adds alot of blank lines. The archives mostly talk about compatability for dos/linux, but that doesnt help me.

Thanks,
Shawn
