Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,
I need help for solve my problem.

my problem is like this..
i want to add many word to file. but after I add 1 word, the second word should be in the under of the first word.

i have tried but the result is like this

Code:

word1word2word3

i want the result to be like this

Code:

word1
word2
word3

What have you tried?

Where are the "words" you are adding coming from?

What operating system are you using?

What shell are you using?

Code:

echo "word1\n" >> result.txt
echo "word2\n" >> result.txt
echo "word3\n" >> result.txt

i have execute that command.
the result in the result.txt file is like this

Code:

word1word2word3

.

I need to make the result like this

Code:

word1
word2
word3

.

thank you.

I repeat: What operating system are you using?

What shell are you using?

On many systems with some shells, the code you used would produced double spaced output, rather than putting output on a single line. I wasn't aware that any shell on any operating system would produce that output from those commands.

And, please use CODE tags instead of expecting UNIX and Linux Forum moderators to clean up your posts for you!

Try, just using:

Code:

echo "word1" >> result.txt
echo "word2" >> result.txt
echo "word3" >> result.txt

I'm so sorry for make many confusing here. That is because I'm really new in this forum.

I'm using windows 7 with cygwin instaled Sir..
and I run that code in .sh file Sir

If you're trying to add lines to a DOS file instead of a UNIX format file, try:

Code:

printf '%s\r\n' "word1" >> result.txt
printf '%s\r\n' "word2" >> result.txt
printf '%s\r\n' "word3" >> result.txt

or more simply:

Code:

printf '%s\r\n' "word1" "word2" "word3" >> result.txt
