Hi Corona688...

I don't see any point fighting it when there's better alternatives though. Your solution is twice as complicated and much less efficient than just using printf once to do both jobs.
Perhaps but my non-rooted Android phone does NOT have printf it only has the same as my echo but the terminal I have on it does emulate the escape codes and the shell resembles a cut down version of bash, probably 'bash --posix' as I can only call it as 'sh'. Hence my experiments with 'echo' over a period of time.
