Bash Script cd command truncates directory name [duplicate]

Question

I'm learning bash and I tried to make a simple script that changes the directory and executes a command, like this:

#!/bin/bash
cd adf-elite-connector
<execute a command>

But I was getting the following error:

-bash: ./dc.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

If I removed the bin/bash header and have the following script:

cd adf-elite-connector
<execute a command>

I would get an error with a truncated directory name:

: No such file or directoryite-connector

Possible duplicate of -bash: ./my_script: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory — jww

I was creating the script in windows and I was uploading the file to linux. End Of Line characters (EOL) differ between windows and linux. So all I had to do is convert EOL characters from windows to linux.

This can be done with Notepad++, going to Edit > EOL Conversion > Unix (LF)

After I uploaded the converted file, it would change the directory and execute the command without a problem.
