Dear Cedric,
Tried and failed. I tried both ways and it still fails for me and I
tried both ways -
[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: cannot open !DOCTYPE: No such file
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: html: not found
./get-new.sh: 3: ./get-new.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected
[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201 all both old new list Package
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: cannot open !DOCTYPE: No such file
./get-new.sh: 1: ./get-new.sh: html: not found
./get-new.sh: 3: ./get-new.sh: Syntax error: newline unexpected
I am using zsh so even changed the script a bit but got a different error -
[$] head get-new.sh
[
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xml:lang='en' lang='en'>
<head>
Tried running it and got the following -
[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201
./get-new.sh:2: no such file or directory: !DOCTYPE
./get-new.sh:4: parse error near `\n'
[$] ./get-new.sh 20170201 all both new list Package
./get-new.sh:2: no such file or directory: !DOCTYPE
./get-new.sh:4: parse error near `\n'
Then tried using bash but same error as before -
─[$] bash ./get-new.sh 20170201
./get-new.sh: line 1: !DOCTYPE: No such file or directory
./get-new.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./get-new.sh: line 2: `
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>'
[$] bash ./get-new.sh 20170201 all both old new list Package
./get-new.sh: line 1: !DOCTYPE: No such file or directory
./get-new.sh: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./get-new.sh: line 2: `
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>'
all out of options.
It is possible that I might have a new package installed in this 3
months period and that's the reason it is also failing :(
All out of options at my end :(
Looking forward to know.
