that's exactly what i tried with: echo -ne '\007\033k'$_'\033\\\033]0;' but it does't work. something with the quoting goes wrong here because i get 033]0; printed in the terminal. but it works like this: echo -n \007\033k$_\033\\\033]\; which is similar to what you suggest: > echo -ne \7\033 blah blah screen title\033\e]2\; blah blah xterm title i am still confused about how the quoting works with regards to \\ > >which makes variable interpolation in strings unnecessary, or is there a > >case where this would not work? > None.
