Insert carriage return in a script

[Charles Harris]

I'm trying to remember how to get a carrage return in a normal command line for a quick port check script. Eg.

telnet "close" |telnet server port && echo "Open"

....but after the close, I need a return. I thought it was something like ctrl+y followed by something, but I can't remember!!!

Answers warmly received as ever!!!

Cheers,

ooops, the first bit of the command should have been an echo!! - Sorry!!

To insert carriage return type Ctrl-V followed by or Ctrl-M.

Maybe you need ^] (Ctrl-]) instead?

echo "^]close" | telnet server port && echo "Open"
