Refer the following,

Before questioning just google it, you may get tones of information

Code:

dos2unix scripname

to remove the windows-style line terminators: the ^M you see in the error message represents a carriage-return plus newline (\r\n in unix notation) and it confuses the shell. The dos2unix utility removes them.

Or Try notepad++(windows) to convert line termination and character encoding
