'echo -e' is non-portable. POSIX recommends that you use printf instead, as the POSIX version of echo is supposed to behave as follows: $ echo -e 'a\nb' -e a\nb You are relying on non-POSIX behavior for backslash interpolation. > Note echo is not portable to other systems, and if that's required, In fact, it's not even portable to bash: $ shopt -s xpg_echo tells bash to turn on POSIX rules for echo, invalidating any bash script that relies on 'echo -e'. > printf(1) is a better option, though that will have different > quoting again due to the % chars etc. % doesn't need quoting in shell. But yes, printf is more portable. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
