@gregnwosu, could you describe more precisely the behavior you were seeing? I've had no trouble using this script with bash 4.3.30.

@gregnwosu, indeed you were right; there was trailing whitespace in this gist (likely from copying the code from a terminal emulator). I've removed it. Thanks for pointing this out and sorry it took me so long to realize it!
