About echo

[Juno]

I am new comer to unix, i have a very simple question about writing a script
How can I open a new line when use the command 'echo' ? I know the ???\n??? function can make a new line , but I only know to use it in printf.

% echo aaa bbb
my target result is
% echo aaa bbb
aaa
bbb

sorry to ask such simple question there, but I really urgently need to know.

# echo "aaa\nbbb"
aaa
bbb

will do it.

hi,

similar to printf use \n.

E.g.
root-L1000 #echo "\t hello \n world"
hello
world
root-L1000 #


Hope this helps!
