echo: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

code:

Answer 1

In my case the bash script was created on a Windows PC which added a carriage return character in front of every line feed. \x0D\x0A instead of just \x0A. I replaced all the CRLF with just LF using the sed and my script works now.

sed -i 's//\r/\n//\n/g' /path/to/file.sh
