Shell Scripting - First Day !!

Aftar long duration, writing this blog on Shell Scripting.. somethinug which is still a new thing for me being in IT industry for more than 5 yeras now. To begin with we will execute HelloWorld program as per the tradition; but before that below is the link which I am using for practicing

http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ch03sec01.html

I have installed cygwin for practicing shell and unix commands, though vi do not work here, you can always type your commands on windows machine [notepad, wordpad or notepad++] and execte those with cygwin. Yes, you can access windows files from cygwin.

First Program - HelloWorld

------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
#First Script of Hello World
echo "Hello World"
------------------
Just run above command on command prompt as below
./HelloWorld.sh


Second Program - Print Contents Inside Files

-----------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
#Second Program to print the content of file
if cat $1
then
echo -e "\n\nFile $1, found and successfully echoed"
fi


Wrote above script in notepad++ ; but when tried to execute that from command prompt, it failed giving below error
./Second.sh: line 9: syntax error: unexpected end of file

But, when I wrote same command from command line itself, it got executed successfully.. Need to know the reason behind this.

Detailed explanation
if cat command finds foo file and if its successfully shown on screen, it means our cat command is successful and its exist status is 0 (indicates success), So our if condition is also true and hence statement echo -e "\n\nFile $1, found and successfully echoed" is proceed by shell. Now if cat command is not successful then it returns non-zero value (indicates some sort of failure) and this statement echo -e "\n\nFile $1, found and successfully echoed" is skipped by our shell.

Now here you will also require a echo parameter description which are as follows

echo [options] [string, variables...]
Displays text or variables value on screen.
Options
-n Do not output the trailing new line.
-e Enable interpretation of the following backslash escaped characters in the strings:
\a alert (bell)
\b backspace
\c suppress trailing new line
\n new line
\r carriage return
\t horizontal tab
\\ backslash
For e.g. $ echo -e "An apple a day keeps away \a\t\tdoctor\n"
