bash script - don't understand error
 

I wrote my first shell script to copy files for backup:

#!/bin/bash
cp /media/A2AC7FD5AC7FA289/zip/Rohan.ts /media/KINGSTON/Store
cp /media/KINGSTON/Store/roback.tc /media/A2AC7FD5AC7FA289/zip

The commands work when typed individually at a terminal, but when I run the script, I get an error about 'invalid argument', because it seems that \r has been appended to the original line. See attached screenshot.

What am I missing?

Wrong Slash probably?
 

I just had a quick look and the first thing I noticed is you got a forward slash instead of a Backward slash, try changing that and see if it works.

did you edit the script in windows.
ms new-lines are different from *-nix new-lines.

In screenshot, it's mentioned $'/media/KINGSTON/Store'. Did you check that dir. /media/KINGSTON/Store exists or not? If it's existing then simply use it's full path in script, not with a $:

That solved it!
 

It was indeed the problem with Windows line endings instead of Linux.
