if you want to print the double quotes also in the file then just put a \ in front of the quotes you want to print.
double quotes are used to specify string and considered as a special character. if u are printing like this
then it takes 3 strings enclosed in 3 pair of double quotes
hence you are getting the result as expect >
if you want to remove the special meaning of any metacharacter , put a \ before that chatracter.
Can somebody explain it to me that why wc gives more chars suppose
Ab.txt have two lines

Ok with \c it is returning 4. :) (6 Replies)

echo
ECHO(1) BSD General Commands Manual ECHO(1)NAME
echo -- write arguments to the standard output
SYNOPSIS
echo [-n] [string ...]
DESCRIPTION
The echo utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank (' ') characters and followed by a newline ('
') character, to the
standard output.
The following option is available:
-n Do not print the trailing newline character. This may also be achieved by appending 'c' to the end of the string, as is done by iBCS2
compatible systems. Note that this option as well as the effect of 'c' are implementation-defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
(``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002. Applications aiming for maximum portability are strongly encouraged to use printf(1) to sup-
press the newline character.
Some shells may provide a builtin echo command which is similar or identical to this utility. Most notably, the builtin echo in sh(1) does
not accept the -n option. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
EXIT STATUS
The echo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO builtin(1), csh(1), printf(1), sh(1)STANDARDS
The echo utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002.
