Odd Echo Output From Shell Script

I have a simple shell script as follows:

#!/bin/bash OUTPUT="network.$(date +'%d-%m-%y').info.txt" SUPPORT_ID="email" echo "---------------------------------------------------" > $OUTPUT echo "Run date and time: $(date)" >> $OUTPUT echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT ifconfig >> $OUTPUT echo "---------------------------------------------------" >> $OUTPUT echo "Network info written to file: $OUTPUT." echo "Please email this file to: $SUPPORT_ID."

It just dumps the network config into a file. At some point I will have the file emailed out, but right now I'm just trying to figure out why the output looks like the following?

bash ./test.sh

.etwork info written to file: network.26-01-25.info.txt .lease email this file to: email

Why in the world does the initial character of the last couple of "echo" commands get clipped and turned into periods? The echos for the output of the commands piped into the output file are fine. Strange...

Any ideas?
