[Discuss] cygwin problem

Hello,

I have been trying to get a small bash script to work in
cygwin but am having some problems.

If I use a find command in a loop on the command line
it works fine:

ie:

/> for FIL in `find -iname '*.doc'`; do echo $FIL; done

(comes up with loads of files)


If I put the same loop in a bash script:

ie:

for FIL in `find -iname '*.doc'`; do
	echo $FIL
done

and then run 'sh script.sh' to test, find doesnt come up with any
files...(!?)

Any ideas anyone?

Peter
