Print command in linux - Shell Programming and Scripting

kymberm · #1 04-17-2003

What is the equivalent of print for linux scripts? I've scripted in unix, but went to try and do a script in linux, red hat 6.2, and it said print command not found.

i.e.:

print 'Enter answer'
read answer
.
.
.
etc.

echo works, i told it the sh shell, switched to ksh and it works fine.

Just use echo instead of print:

echo "Enter answer"; read answer; echo $answer

i see you figured it out as i was posting
