I tried the given script but didn't find error at line no. 2. Please try the script as below:

----------------------------------
for x in `ls -1 *.csv`
do
y=$(echo $x|awk -F. '{print $1}')
quoter -d "," $x>$y.q
done
-----------------------------------

BTW, which shell are you using (i.e. ksh, sh ..etc). You can try changing the shell and then executing the script too.

Anshu

Well, I can't quite see why it wouldn't work but you have far more in there than you need.

Try

for x in *.csv
do

instead of what you have there.

ls -1 |while read line
do
y=`echo $x|awk -F. '{print $1}'`
....
...
done

Which shell are you using to run the script ?
try

#!/bin/sh

in the first line

Hi,
Yours are perfect one. Check whether any control chars are there or not? Or have you written in dos and ftp'd it.
If so then run dos2ux (shellscriptname) > (newname)
