Since this hasn't been shown yet, python -c 'print "*"*80' If you wanted to, you could create a program that simply outputs repeating text, and then invoke that from your shell script. Naturally if you go to the effort of making a program it should be about as flexible as 'cut' or something :-). -D -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
