Re: Problems with FreeBSD 6.0
Hi, I haven't really been following this thread, and I'm not sure if this has been posted here already. Appologies if this has been already. To usually get a tab to be echoed, you can use echo -e a\tb Cheers, Ryan On Thu, 13 Apr 2006, Vyacheslav Anikin wrote: Здравствуйте, gs.

In the last episode (Apr 13), Ryan Maclear said: I haven't really been following this thread, and I'm not sure if this has been posted here already. Appologies if this has been already. To usually get a tab to be echoed, you can use echo -e a\tb The echo command doesn't take a -e option. Your shell's echo builtin may or may not, but for portability, you have to assume it doesn't. Use the printf command if you want fancy formatting. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unless uname is a Linux binary. FreeBSD doesn't ship uname as a Linux binary either :-) Unless under Linux mode... Which would also explains the rest of the behavior the OP saw. He's getting bash instead of sh - because /bin/sh on Linux is bash. The two really odd behaviors - a list of files and a question about the number of possibilities - is bash file completion, which is triggered by the tab character. As for echo having standardized behavior, that's simply wishful thinking. SysV and BSD echo commands have different behaviors. POSIX is SysV. Various shells builtin echos have have flags and/or shell variables to control whether you get a variant of the SysV or BSD behavior, and different defaults. To get the behavior you want with the bash builtin echo, use: echo -e a\tb Better yet, consider using the printf command instead of echo. mike -- Mike Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
