Hi pseudocoder. Not exactly. It is the other way around. When you assign the output to a variable, the newline characters are retained. If you later echo that variable without quotation they are converted to spaces. If you echo the variable with quotation the newline characters are not converted to spaces.

Better to do it right the first time
why not try something like:
Quote:
listado= '
<p>'

for foo in `find $direcreal -type f -print` ; do

listado="${listado} </b>${foo}
"

done

listado="${listado} </p>"
or something of the kind. The exact formatting is not critical, but that it be correct html or xhtml to display properly when written to the html page and rendered in a browser does!

Check into other options, like wrapping it in
Quote:
<pre> </pre>
tags as another option.

(Note, you can load the variable as you did, then parse and format it on output. This was just one example.)
