Question `echo` problem.
Have the following lines in a script:
Code:
  echo "-----------------------------------------------"\
       "---------------------" >> $xdfrpt
  echo "-   Date  -    - / - /stand - /u   - /u1  - /u2  -"\
       "/x1  - /x2  - /x3   -" >> $xdfrpt
  echo "-----------------------------------------------"\
       "---------------------" >> $xdfrpt
And it produces the following:
Code:
----------------------------------------------- ---------------------
-   Date  -    - / - /stand - /u   - /u1  - /u2  - /x1  - /x2  - /x3   -
----------------------------------------------- ---------------------
The question I'd like answered is how do I aviod the `gaps` appearing in the line?
