Shell Programming and Scripting

How to write multiple echo statements in unix?

echo "*************************************************************************************************** *********";
echo This Script do the following functions
echo 1. Point 1
echo 2. Point 2
echo 3. Point 3
echo "*************************************************************************************************** ********";

This is giving some error. Please help!

If your pattern is spanning another line, end the first line with a backslash -

Code:

$ echo \
"*****";

will do the same work as

Code:

$ echo "*****";

Or you can do

Code:

echo "
******************************************;
  This Script do the following functions
  1. Point 1
  2. Point 2
  3. Point 3
echo **************************************;
"

Note the quotes at the beginning and end only.
