[Fwd: Re: ctrl-M]

[Shawn Ashlee <shawn@ashlee.info>]

(Freddie)Here is the snippet:
         echo "$2" | sed -e 's/\./\\./g' > /tmp/add_to_proc.tmp
         TEMPFILE=`cat /tmp/sed/add_to_proc.tmp`;

         echo -e "
         # $2 start\r
         :0:\r
         * ^From: .*$TEMPFILE.*\r
         /dev/null\r
         # $2 end\r
         " >> $PROCFILE

         echo "Sucessfully added $2 to $PROCFILE"
         exit 0

This is just for a Linux box, it will not be moved to dos. The "only" 
problem with the ctrl-M is that procmail will not read the file with 
those in there. Like I said, it shows them in vi but not when you cat 
the file.

could you post up your script (or at least the part that does the writing)?
