Issue while reading property file in shell script

I have the below shell script. Please help me to understand why the values of $mft_dir and $mft_dir1 are different?

SCRIPT(test.sh)

#! /bin/sh

######## Reading properties file
function getProperty {
    awk -F'=' -v k="$1" '$1==k&&sub(/^[^=]*=/,"")' $ENVIRONMENTROOT/properties/ExtServerConnection.properties
}

key=$2  
######################## LOCAL Server Details ##########################
########MFT path
mft_dir=$(getProperty "${key}_mft_dir")  
mft_dir1="/sjcqa01/exec/ENVIRONMENTROOT/EAIDATA/Inbound/MFT/EXL"    
echo $mft_dir  
echo $mft_dir1

if [ "$mft_dir" != "$mft_dir1" ] ; then  
    echo "Not equal"  
fi  
echo "------------------ END OF THE SCRIPT ---------------------"

Properties File Entry

XYZ_mft_dir=/sjcqa01/exec/ENVIRONMENTROOT/EAIDATA/Inbound/MFT/EXL

Execution Command

./test.sh -key XYZ

Output

/Inbound/MFT
/Inbound/MFT 
Not equal

I used the following sed command to strip off the carriage return and my issue got resolved:

sed -e 's/\r//g'

Replace your #! /bin/sh line with #!/bin/bash. I did that with your code and it worked perfectly.

./so.bash -key XYZ
>>/sjcqa01/exec/ENVIRONMENTROOT/EAIDATA/Inbound/MFT/EXL<<
>>/sjcqa01/exec/ENVIRONMENTROOT/EAIDATA/Inbound/MFT/EXL<<
------------------ END OF THE SCRIPT ---------------------

Note I added >> and << characters to see the exact output of the echo commands.

Note2: some systems might require #!/usr/bin/bash. Adjust according to your system (which bash will show you where it is).

Note3: do not put a space between #! and your shell path.

Note4: well done using $() and not backticks :-)
