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

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.

However, how do I go about doing... (1 Reply)

This seems to be a stupid basic question, but I cant get the space to stick in the awk variable.
I do use this command to grep a time range of the log file.
cat /var/log/daemon.log | awk '$0>=from&&$0<=to' from="$(date +%b" "%e" "%H:%M:%S -d -24hour)" to="$(date +%b" "%e" "%H:%M:%S)"

Alright, so I'm writing a file for the lexical analyzer (lex). It will be used to check C code (collecting the identifiers and storing those names along with the line numbers the identifier was found on). I'm not used to 'C' so I'm having some difficulty.
