title: "cannot execute binary file" when trying to run a shell script on linux
body: <p>I am very new to linux and shell scriprting.
  I am trying to run a shellscript from secure shell (ssh) on linux using following commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>chmod +x path/to/mynewshell.sh
  
  sh path/to/mynewshell.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>path/to/mynewshell.sh: path/to/mynewshell.sh: cannot execute binary file.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Tried using this command: </p>
  
  <pre><code>bash path/to/mynewshell.sh
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the same error.</p>
  
  <p>Tried with this command: <code>su - myusername sh path/to/mynewshell.sh</code>
  It is asking for my password and giving me this error: <code>no such file or directory</code>.</p>
  
  <p>1.The result of cat -v path/to/mynewshell.sh is:
  ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@Rscript "$dir"/diver_script.R
  done</p>
  
  <p>2.When tried 'less path/to/mynewshell.sh' i got this on my terminal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/bin/bash/Rscript^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
  ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
  for dir in /path/to/* ; do 
  ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@Rscript "$dir"/myRscript.R
  done
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>3.When i ran file path/to/mynewshell.sh : i got this "Bourne-Again shell script text executable"</p>
  
  <p>Please give any advice on how I can try executing the shellscript.</p>
