Message-ID: <4DFF19C4.5070003@drmicha.warpmail.net> GNU bash, Version 4.2.10(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu): echo "a\"b\n\"c" a"b\n"c dash-0.5.6: echo "a\"b\n\"c" a"b "c t7810.87 breaks with dash because of this. Escaping the \n does not make the test work with both either. So I'd like to know which one's right and (independently) how to make it work for both... Cheers, Michael
