Hello, I was testing some scripting using /bin/sh and I could not find this behaviour in the documentation :
> $ /bin/sh > $ echo -n '\n' > > $ It seems that ksh even in sh (posix ?) mode does expansion of \n to an actual newline. First is there a way to turn off the \n expansion in simple quotes in /bin/sh ? Second I don't see this feature described neither in man sh nor man ksh so is it a known behaviour of ksh ? Thanks a ton, -- Thomas de Grivel kmx.io
