I tried that it works thank you, I mistaken assumed that because I 
changed the shebang line to be bash instead of sh,
and then ran it using "sh <script>" it would work, but obviously I got 
the same errors as before, and I wasn't aware that
there was one called bash also, but now I think of it that's quite obvious.

Anyway thank you to everyone that responded to my message!
