Hi,
I am not very experienced in UNIX,
but what I understood, that in this file(oratab.sh) in each line there is a hidden simbol like EOL(end of line). And that is why tere is an error on each row in this file. Unfortunatelly I didn't solve the problem.

DOS-Win-To-Linux-HowTo
"
  If you need to exchange text files between DOS/Win and Linux, be aware   of the ``end of line'' problem. Under DOS, each line of text ends with   CR/LF (that is, ASCII 13 + ASCII 10), with LF under Linux. If you edit   a DOS text file under Linux, each line will likely end with a   strange--looking `M' character; a Linux text file under DOS will   appear as a kilometric single line with no paragraphs. There are a   couple of tools, dos2unix and unix2dos, to convert the files. "

Regards,
Sergey.
