    That specific error suggests that the editor you wrote the script in added Windows-style (CRLF) line endings Commented Jun 7, 2019 at 15:52
  • good catch, thank you. though even once I fix that, it still doesn't do what I want. I've edited my question to clarify this. Commented Jun 7, 2019 at 15:57
  • Is the location of the userinfo.csv file identical relative to each user? Is it always /path/to/users/*/userinfo.csv or it can be at any depth under the /path/to/users/ folder? Commented Jun 7, 2019 at 15:59

    What do you think $("dir") does? Commented Jun 7, 2019 at 15:59
  • @deimos yes it will always be /path/to/users/*/userinfo.csv and @choroba I now realize that $("dir") is the full directory so of course renaming it as such wouldn't have worked. Commented Jun 7, 2019 at 16:01
