I have bash script which has lots of echo
statements and also I aliased echo
to echo -e
both in .bash_profile
and .bashrc
, so that new lines are printed properly for a statement like echo 'Hello\nWorld'
the output should be
Hello
World
but the output I am getting is
Hello\nWorld
I even tried using shopt -s expand_aliases
in the script, it doesn't help
I am running my script as bash /scripts/scriptnm.sh
; if I run it as . /scripts/scriptnm.sh
I am getting the desired output...
echo
like you want is a bad practice IMHO
