echo script with /c

Ratzie — Fri, 05 Mar 2004 14:21:43 GMT

I am trying to write a script that echos a line, then runs a command, then echos done on the same line.

How is that done?
echo "This is line 1..." \c
command
echo "Done"

I want the output to be...

This is line 1... Done

Thanks for the help!

It also depends if the "command" will send newline to the stdout/stderr or not.

If u r not really concerned about the output of the command then best thing to do

echo "This is line1 ...\c"
command 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
echo "Done"

I could not get what you want.

echo "your_stuff";command|tr "\n" "\t";echo "Done"
