And how can I then get the output in one single line? (without using "tr -d '\n'" ;-) It would break backward compatibility. Therefore I suggest to provide an additional placeholder which evaluates to a newline character, e.g. %n or \n so that e.g. the command "scanimage -f '%d%n'" results the devices each on a line with a trailing newline character at the very end.
