Detailed explanation of Linux:echo command

Used for string output

Format

Echo string

Use echo to achieve more complex output format control 1. Display the normal string: echo "It is a test" the double quotation marks here can be omitted, the following command is consistent with the above example: echo It is a test2. Displaying the escape character echo "\" It is a test\ "" will result in: "It is a test" similarly, double quotes can also be omitted by 3. The display variable read command reads one line from the standard input and assigns the value of each field on the input line to the shell variable #! / bin/shread name echo "$name It is a test". The above code is saved as the variable that test.sh,name receives the standard input. The result will be: [root@www ~] # sh test.shOK # standard input OK It is a test # output 4. Display the newline echo-e "OK!\ n" #-e to enable the escape echo "It it a test" output result: OK, it it a test5. Show no line break #! / bin/shecho-e "OK!\ c" #-e turn on escape\ c No line break echo "It is a test" output result: OK! It is a test
