progress,
first I was working in the tcsh shell where the errors occurred. I switched to the
bash shell
then source doit did not report any error and after running
source commands.txt
it worked!
two comments:
1 maybe add a comment to the README.txt saying that for linux the bash shell should be used.
2. more serious, the backup contained files, whose names contained no ascii symbols like
regresión.tex. your program cuts everything starting from the no ascii char. I am not sure what to suggest, maybe the easiest solution would be to replace say ó by o, or have UTF8 support. I cannot judge.
thanks anyhow your program is helpful.
