Howdy all! I have noticed that the two ways I have read about to suppress newline characters in the echo command do not seem to be working. Here is what I have tried:
$ echo "hi there\c" hi there\c $ echo "...using -n." ...using -n. $ Quoted or unquoted, the result is the same. I tried doing a google search (and cygwin archive search) for "echo suppress newline" but did not find anything related to cygwin. BTW.. my purpose? Andrew DeFaria gave me a suggestion for creating a shorter way to use drag and dropping of path names into Cygwin. Type: $ cd "" Then type control-B to backup one space (between the two "") then drag and drop. Well, that is still too much typing! So I want to create an alias that will show the cd "" and leave the cursor on the same line.. Any help would be much appreciated!
