How to preserve space while concatenating strings? (KSH)
I have these Code:
str1=$(echo "This is string one with spaces \n This is also my sentence 1") When I echo $str1, it displays the new line character properly. Now I have another new variable say str2. I want to concatenate in this way.. str1 + newline character + and then str2. That's I want the output to be: Code:
This is string one with spaces This is also my sentence 1 Content of str2 How do I do it? I tried Code:
$str1 = "$str1 $(echo "\n") $str2" and Code:
$str1 = "$str1 \n $str2" and Code:
$str1 = "$str1 $(echo $IFS) $str2" None of those works  ---------- Post updated at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:30 PM ---------- If I just say echo $str1 "\n" $str2 at the cmd prompt, it works fine. It does not work when I try to store it in variable... it loses the new line character when stored in a variable. |
