echo "password\r"
I can't echo the whole thing because of the back slash "\". the shell thinks it's an escape character?

Any slick way to do it?

Not sure I understand your question... but you want to echo and have

password\r

returned to STDOUT, right? If so, then do this...

echo "password\\\r"

Is that what you're looking for?

If you want password\r printed to the screen you need to do:

echo 'password\\r'

Note the use of the single-quotes (') rather than double quotes (") and the two back-slashes before the r.

or w/out quotes...

echo password\\\\r
