Bash is anal about whitespace before and after equals signs.
How make part of an assignment go to NEXT line and be INDENTED?
This works...
(office /tmp) % more a.sh
A="1 2 3 4"
B=" "
for NUMBER in $A; do
B=$B$NUMBER
done
echo "B=" $B
(office /tmp) % sh a.sh
B= 1234
Not if I add whitespace and indent!!!
(office /tmp) % more a.sh
A="1 2 3 4"
B=" "
for NUMBER in $A; do
B=$B\
$NUMBER
done
echo "B=" $B
(office /tmp) % sh a.sh
a.sh: line 6: 1: command not found
a.sh: line 6: 2: command not found
a.sh: line 6: 3: command not found
a.sh: line 6: 4: command not found
B=
How fix so long assignment lines can be indented nicely in scripts??
