I wrote the following script to learn to read and write files.  No matter how I
try to start it it doesn't work.  

#!/bin/bash

shopt -s -o nounset

declare LINE

exec 3< test.dat

while read LINE <&3 ; do
  printf "%s\n" "$LINE" 
done

exit 0

this is the error 

[root@localhost scripts]# ./test.sh
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[root@localhost scripts]#

can someone point me in the write direction?  thanks again
Dave
