A non-quoted backslash (\) is the escape character. It preserves the lit eral value of the next character that follows, with the exception of <new line>. If a \<newline> pair appears, and the backslash is not itself quoted, the \<newline> is treated as a line continuation (that is, it is removed from the input stream and effectively ignored). > [ck@nexus:ck] echo -e '\101' > A Christian -- Christian Knoke * * * http://www.enter.de/~c.knoke/ * * * * * * * * * Ceterum censeo Microsoft esse dividendum. -- Häufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject "unsubscribe".
