I am using my text editor which is suitable for easy editing and productivity . It is inserting a blank character after last non-blank character because some Unix systems programs are requiring such a structure , but this is violating DIALOG rules : I do NOT want to change my editor in that respect , which this will break my other parameter files . Although a new parameter may be inserted but WHY . This is a problem of DIALOG . Shell does NOT have such a restriction . DIALOG is requiring that after last \ ( line continuation symbol ) there should NOT be any blank character . I spent a whole night to discover that this is the problem . Is it possible to supply a DIALOG which will ignore blank characters after \ character . I am using separate lines for DIALOG parameters for readability of scripts . Thank you very much .
