The warning messages are at the same line. Is there a way to make each warning message printed in a different line? mkdir -p c d/c echo c/a > c/a.txt echo c/b > c/b.txt echo d/c/a > d/c/a.txt echo d/c/b > d/c/b.txt yes n | cp -i -r c d cp: overwrite ‘d/c/a.txt’? cp: overwrite ‘d/c/b.txt’? yes n$'\n' | cp -i -r c d cp: overwrite ‘d/c/a.txt’? cp: overwrite ‘d/c/b.txt’? -- Regards, Peng
