Using a bash script I want to echo several strings to a file. The echo
statement, however, is in a function and thus indented but I do /not/ want the
strings echoed indented in the new file. Is this doable?
Here is an example:
f () {
echo "
# this is a test
a=123
b=456" > file.txt
}
File.txt should the contain:
# this is a test
a=123
b=456
Thus no indentation. It seems that if I prepend each line with \b the line
should be backspaced which would work nicely but the echo statement seems to
replace a backspace within the quotes to spaces...
