How do I print:
with echo?

The following doesn't work like the one above:
echo hello\nworld
echo hello\0nworld
echo "hello\nworld"
The \n doesn't get interpreted as a newline, but why?

What's the right command?

regards

randyding -

harrylmh's suggestion about "echo -en" is exactly correct ... if your question is about the shell's "echo".

I'm wondering if maybe your question is actually about php's "echo" - perhaps you want to see newlines in an HTML web page generated by PHP.

If you're not seeing the newline in a web browser, then the solution is to add an HTML "<br>" tag

EXAMPLE:
<?php
echo "Hello<br>world\n";
?>

'Hope that helps .. PSM

PS:
If you were asking about the shell echo in the first place, harrylmh's answer should already have you squared away. In that case, please accept my humble apologies ;-)

Yes! thanks, randyding, your code worked.
PS: yes, I was referring to shell

-ethat's an annoying bash thing.
echo '\n' works in ksh and sh
