when i check the syntax it splits the command.
how can i preserve the command line to not break apart in applescript?
You need to escape the backslashes in the shell command. So
do script "cat temp | tr 'r' 'n' > oddball.csv." & ThisDate in window 1
should be
do script "cat temp | tr '\r' '\n' > oddball.csv." & ThisDate in window 1
