Running Executable from Shell Script

Question

I am having trouble launching an executable that I have created from a shell script. I would like to automate testing by running the program many times with different command line options to verify it is working.

When I type echo $SHELL, /bin/sh is displayed.

The following is my shell script:

#!/bin/sh
clear 
echo "Running first test."
./myProgram
exit 0

When I run the script (sh myScript.sh), with myProgram in the same directory, I see the following output:

Running first test.
: not foundsh: line 4:

When executing the program ./myProgram, it runs as expected with no command line options.

I have also tried: myProgram ./myProgram & myProgram & based on answers to somewhat similar questions, but they all result in the above error message.

Your newlines are goofed. Use dos2unix to fix.
