Dont want carriage return

videsh77 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-16-2004

I have observed with print & echo, they produce carriage return <CR> or newline, after they display string next to them.

Is there anyway to avoide these <CR> after the intended string is displayed?

try:

echo -e "Waiting for a enter key \c"

enc.

You may not need the -e with some flavours of echo.

printf is more portable because of the different flavors of echo
