Please don't ask more bash questions here. Anyway since you have done your noise, here are some answers. 1. To convert to upper case you can use `tr' like this: TableName=`echo "$2" | tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]"` Please note all the " and ` - they are essential. 2. Echo of escaped (backslashed) characters. Beside the -e argument you can: 2.1 Use /bin/echo 2.2 Set the xpg_echo option (shopt -s xpg_echo) 2.3 Compile bash with --enable-usg-echo-default Remember in Cygwin sh is not bash (it is ash). You can change this by removing/renaming sh and sym-linking bash to sh (that's what I do). I STRONGLY suggest you read the bash man page(s) carefully.
