Echo newline in Bash prints literal n
Posted By: Anonymous
In Bash, tried this:
echo -e "hellonworld"
But it doesn’t print a newline, only n. How can I make it print the newline?
I’m using Ubuntu 11.04.
Solution
You could use printf instead:
printf "hellonworldn"
printf has more consistent behavior than echo. The behavior of echo varies greatly between different versions.
