One should avoid echo anyway due to portability issues. Use printf instead.

- robtoo 15y agoMore *nix systems have a /bin/echo than /bin/printf or /usr/bin/printf
- mikelward 15y agoYes, and they all do something dfferent. Things like "-e" and treatment of "\c" are not uniform. If a system has printf, and I think all recent Unix-like systems do, then it works at least 98% the same.
