I got echo -n to work just fine. But I cannot figure out how to get echo -e Some text.\n to work. I tried to use -E, but no change. echo -e \r doesn't work either. What gives?The man page for echo doesn't have much. info coreutils echo has even less.http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?bash+1 doesn't have much either.
Be sure you're using the right "echo". Depending on your shell, echo is a built-in function, and you're not using /bin/echo. As behaviors vary by shell, this can be very important.
