An example of what I am trying to do:eval echo -e "\\tGetting files from ${MIRROR_URL[$STARTIDX]}" $LOG_FILE
This should be eval echo -e $'\t'"Getting files ........" $LOG_FILE
\t certainly doesn't work, but I would have expected \\t to have put a tab character into the output stream, but it only outputs t
Syntax is, $'\t' NOT "\\t"
Any suggestions?
