error when running locate mac address script

Hi Rob,

I tried to run your script on my switches, but it fails with the following error:

RED-CR1-ARISTA-TEST#findmac 3d0a
/bin/bash: /mnt/flash/locateMac.py: /usr/bin/python3.2^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
% '/mnt/flash/locateMac.py 3d0a' returned error code: 126

Have you encountered this error?

Hi Rob,

I have resolved the issue, it was related to hidden character ^M at the end of every line. This is a know problem when copying text from Windows non-binary text files into Linux/Unix files.
