CRLF vs LF

These days I am coding a Linux shell running for AZcopy, since my laptop is running windows, so I switch between two operations systems. The strange problem came soon:

  1. ./azCopyToAzure.sh: line 7: $’\r’: command not found
  2. source ./config.cfg can not found
  3. when I was using echo ${log_dir}!!!, the result is !!!XXX, basically, the !!! will come to the beginning and overwrite ${log_dir}

After wasting almost two days, I found the problem. It caused by difference between end of sequence in windows and Linux. Here is from wiki:

The term CRLF refers to Carriage Return (ASCII 13, \r) Line Feed (ASCII 10, \n). They’re used to note the termination of a line, however, dealt with differently in today’s popular Operating Systems. For example: in Windows both a CR and LF are required to note the end of a line, whereas in Linux/UNIX a LF is only required. In the HTTP protocol, the CR-LF sequence is always used to terminate a line.

In vs code , we have to change this setting at the bottom of right side.

I thought there should not be many person developing bash on windows, but if you are, hope this can solve some of your problems.
