Simple script problem - Help!

I wrote and made the following script executable (chmod +x MyScript.sh):

echo Starting script to launch prog-name.
cd "/home/MyUserName/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Prog-Name"
wine prog-name.exe

When I point a terminal at the subdirectory containing the script I type:
./MyScript.sh

And Ubuntu answers:
Starting script to launch prog-name
.
./MyScript.sh: line 2: cd: /home/MyUserName/.wine/drive_c/Program Files
: No such file or directory

Changing the double quotes on line 2 to single ones has no effect. If I put the entirety of line 2 between single quotes, Ubuntu answers:
./MyScript.sh: line 2: cd: /home/MyUserName/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (

I don't see this as being a Wine issue. What the devil is going on? Kudos for any and all help.

n/m. stated he tried quotes.

The mystery deepens. When I escape the spaces (keeping quotes), Ubuntu responds with another letter of the command:
./MyScript.sh: line 2: cd: /home/MyUserName/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 and Gnome 3.6.3, by the by. I have 32 GB of RAM. I also use Gnome without special effects. Can some guru help me, double pretty please?

Deeper still. If I simply escape the spaces and get rid of both single quotes, Ubuntu complains about a syntax error near unexpected token '('.

Hi

Open a terminal and type

Code:

---

cat -A <file_name>

---

Capital A above and change the filename to the name of your script.

Post the output back here between code tags like this

[code]output[/code]

to get output like this.

Where and why did the round bracket come from?

Does the wine prog-name.exe command in your script work if you run it directly in terminal from the correct ~/.wine subfolder?

you need to escape () as well, however, why it doesn't work with quotes/ticks is a mystery to me
what's the output of

Code:

---

find $HOME/.wine/ -type d

Hi

I think you slightly misunderstood me; my fault as i did not explain myself very well.

I have hoping to see the output of...

Code:

---

cat -A Merriam-Webster-Unabridged.sh

---

I'm looking for any characters that should not be there in the script.

Can you post the output of that command above please.

Kind regards

Yes! I forgot to escape the parens. I used Main Menu to credate the DT launcher I wanted. Many thanks to all who contributed ideas.
