Network How to print Following string?
Dear All,
I am new to shell script.I want to print following string:
"E:\OutputRef\ExtendedTestObjectModel\Test.txt"

For that i am using:
echo "$ADL_ODT_REF${ADL_ODT_SLASH}ExtendedTestObjectModel${ADL_ODT_SLASH}$ResultFile"

where - $ADL_ODT_REF is E:\OutputRef
$ADL_ODT_SLASH is \
ResultFile is Text.txt

But on printing it will show as :
"E:\OutputRef xtendedTestObjectModel\Test.txt"

\E get repalced by saome binary symbol
Please let me know is there any other way to print above line as it is?

Thanks in advance.

Sandeep

Also one thing i used ADL_ODT_SLASH twice before ExtendedTestObjectModel it works fine on windows but i think it will fail on unix.

Code:
~$ cat tmp.sh 
#! /bin/bash
ADL_ODT_REF="E:\OutputRef"
ADL_ODT_SLASH='\'
ResultFile="Text.txt"
echo "$ADL_ODT_REF${ADL_ODT_SLASH}ExtendedTestObjectModel${ADL_ODT_SLASH}$ResultFile"

~$ bash tmp.sh 
E:\OutputRef\ExtendedTestObjectModel\Text.txt

It seems there is something you are not telling us.

Try like this,
Code:
ADL_ODT_REF='E:\OutputRef'
ADL_ODT_SLASH='\'
ResultFile='Text.txt'
echo "$ADL_ODT_REF${ADL_ODT_SLASH}ExtendedTestObjectModel${ADL_ODT_SLASH}$ResultFile"

Strange..try to escape the backslash:
Code:
ADL_ODT_REF='E:\OutputRef'
ADL_ODT_SLASH='\\'
ResultFile='Text.txt'
echo "$ADL_ODT_REF${ADL_ODT_SLASH}ExtendedTestObjectModel${ADL_ODT_SLASH}$ResultFile"

Or perhaps
Code:
printf '%s%sExtendedTestObjectModel%s%s\n' "$ADL_ODT_REF" "$ADL_ODT_SLASH" "$ADL_ODT_SLASH" "$ResultFile"
