The script is putting the correct date and time in $today, but it is putting \r after each time I echo $today in the filenames.

SCRIPT:


#!/usr/bin/bash
today=`/usr/bin/date +%y%m%d%k%M`
echo $today
/usr/bin/tar -czf Blah${today}.gz BlahHire.csv BlahPSRollbackHire.csv
/usr/bin/tar -czf Blahreq${today}.gz BlahHiredCandidates.csv BlahBWRequisition.csv BlahBWReqCandidates.csv BlahBWCandidates.csv BlahPSRequisitions.csv
