Did you copy&paste from the e-mail correctly? I fear you didn't, as the second $2 should've been $3. Isn't a backslash or quote missing somewhere?

Also, your prompt seems MSWin-like. Are you sure cat works on MSWin?

    Sir, I am sure of absolutely nothing ahah. I did copy well because I used copy and paste so I guess it shouldn't add any error ? And the line was like that when that guy used it... I am not sure at all it does work on ms dos neither... might be the problem...

      Outlook sometimes changes dash to emdash or somesuch. Go back and retype the dash, or perhaps retype the whole thing from scratch.

        I think the e-mail is fine, I use an in-browser email thing that didn't change anything. I just saw that cat doesn't exist on MSWIN so that is the problem... I really don't know what to do now :/
