Silly Korn Shell Question

[ABlipInContinuity]

For neatness sake, I want to make a shell script command span multiple lines so that it's easy to read back by anyone updating a script in future.

How do I do this?

I thought the following would do the trick:

echo Hello
  \ World

[Greenbank]

Code: [Select]

echo Hello \
World

This belongs in Blinkenlighs, but you need to end the line with a backslash, your example seems to have the backslash in the wrong place?

i.e. your example should be

echo Hello \
World

[Maladict]

Beaten by Greenbank as usual.

I worked it out msyelf before coming back to this thread.

The problem was between the chair and the machine.
