There is too much variation among implementations of "echo" to ever hope for uniformity. Different implementations all react differently to options and backslash sequences. To get portable behavior, use printf. (Or, if you want to be portable to older platforms that lack printf, use cat with a here document.) paul _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
