Did you edit and save the file on a Windows system?Kusalananda– Kusalananda ♦2022-01-17 07:44:15 +00:00Commented Jan 17, 2022 at 7:44

No, but the command also complains about $'\r' command not found, which just correlates to empty lines in the file. Could this be the cause?Mandias– Mandias2022-01-17 15:42:20 +00:00Commented Jan 17, 2022 at 15:42

Yes, that's another typical symptom of using a DOS/Windows text file on a Unix system, hence my previous comment.Kusalananda– Kusalananda ♦2022-01-17 16:02:06 +00:00Commented Jan 17, 2022 at 16:02

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
