trite formatting problem
Hello; having an annoying issue:

I wish to have the same formatting in:

Code:
awk '{print $1}' LOCAL
f30f31be17a236378ac896639cc1b996
bff4c460f601444db6ef7f6ad6ca44b9

ce3f8fdd4919e891090ca27872f4f983
c00098663f064d14065d0ef248a4db44

30cd962c49878ca2a1c47c25b1617adf
74f524bb137a579efcd4b1b7b0664fb9

as when I do :

Code:
echo $(awk '{print $1}' LOCAL)
f30f31be17a236378ac896639cc1b996 bff4c460f601444db6ef7f6ad6ca44b9 347a399b6fe9c2f21e6a7f55911c1483 ce3f8fdd4919e891090ca27872f4f983 c00098663f064d14065d0ef248a4db44 7bc4ab80eaba174036b772b5e9d92644 30cd962c49878ca2a1c47c25b1617adf 74f524bb137a579efcd4b1b7b0664fb9

Not sure why the output wraps around when I echo..

Any idea how to 'un-wrap' the output ??
Thank you

just add double quotes

Code:
echo "$(awk '{print $1}' LOCAL)"
