Cygwin Scripting

Hi all,

I have a problem reading in some user input to my scripts in cygwin (I am learning it...)

when I do:

$Read inputUser
Test

$echo $inputUser

he returns me the word Test


But:

When I build a script

#!/bin/sh
# Shows how to read a line from stdin
`read userinput`
echo $userinput

and run it it doesn't work... I am starting to learn making scripts... thanks for your help

ok;

I know what the problem was.

I wrote the script in notepad from windows... If I write it in nano wich is into the cygwin everything works

#!/bin/sh
read name
echo $name
