MySQL How to avoid new line
Hi,

I am having multiple echo statements to print output
echo "$VAr"
echo "$lenght"
echo "$sum"

I get the output as
12
24
36

I need the output to be 12 24 36.

How do i arrive at this.

Thanks in advance

Hi krashraj,
Use -n option in echo command
Code:
echo -n "$VAr"
echo -n "$lenght"
echo -n "$sum"

With Regards,
Raj.

Since you are printing numbers you can have more control over precision and formatting if needed by using printf if your shell supports it:
Code:
printf "%f %d %d\n" $var $length $sum

This page has great info and examples for the korn shell, scroll down a little to the printf section.
