Exclamation Simple question
I had a script in solaris wich i read data, for example:


Code:
Number 1: _

and the cursor use to be in '_' place because in the code of the script i write:


Code:
echo "Number 1:\c"

but i copy the script to a linux and the cursor 'jump' to the begining of the next line like:


Code:
Number 1:
_

How i can keep the cursor at the end of the line like in solaris?

Hi,
You could try this instead:

Code:
echo -n "Number 1: "

-n suppress the newline.
