Bash Version: 3.2 Patch Level: 39 Release Status: release Description: I'm not sure whether it is a bug how can i echo the text string "-e" barely ( or "-n", "-E") i tried $echo "-e" $echo '-e' and some other inputs, all of which produced no outputs. the original problem was that I wanted to use echo to output the value of a variable in a shell script and that value happened to be "-e" for example =-= #!/bin/bash TEXT="-e" echo $TEXT exit 0 =-= Repeat-By: see above. -- Tao
