Faced a bug in android terminal

Question

I know that we can use the following syntax to create a for loop in linux or android shell script :

for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
echo $i
done

It is working as expected when written directly in terminal : enter image description here

But when the code is saved in a .sh file and called in terminal using the 'sh' command, it shows - "syntax error 'do".

Code in a .sh file : enter image description here

File called in terminal : enter image description here

Can anyone explain what exactly is happening here ? I am using Terminal Emulator in android. When I am working with other commands in the .sh file, there is no problem with newline encoding.

Have you tried this in android Terminal Emulator or in linux command line? And if you had tried it in android, which android version are you using ? — Puspam, Mar 02 '19 at 13:03

Oh yes, that's right. When I added another new line before the 'do' command, it worked.

Previously I wrote this :

for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
    echo $i
done

Afterwards, I wrote this :

for i in 1 2 3 4 5

do
    echo $i
done

Note that there are two new lines before 'do'.
