Yes, that's what I mean. Back in the early days of Leopard, when people complained about the missing -n in sh's echo, Apple said it is because of POSIX conformity. > Does the builtin echo in sh have any way to suppress a newline? Maybe > the venerable "\c"? Yes, "\c" works, although this is an extension of POSIX echo, just as "-n". Otherwise use printf or /bin/echo -n instead of echo -n. Or bash instead of sh. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
