Newline in the SHELL Solved

Question

Hello,

I'm a beginner on Linux; in fact, I just started yesterday! I have a big question that's a bit silly, but how do you make a line break in the SHELL without submitting our command? And first of all, is it even possible? lol

Example:

tatata tatata tatata

Thanks +++

Hello,   To get your example with line breaks between each word you can type this: echo -e "tatata
tatata
tatata"  A++ A god is born, others die. The truth has neither come nor gone. Only the error has changed. EUGÈNE PELLETAN

Hello again,

No, that's not it! I read in a topic, if I understood correctly, that you need to type two commands one below the other and then confirm by pressing Enter, but how do I make a line break between these two commands without validating the first one?

For example:
Make
Make install

There must be a key combination that does what I want? Or maybe I just didn't understand everything... lol

Goodbye.

Yes but wait for example your code that you just gave me :

johand@horus:~/src/php$ ls bidon.php bidon.html \ > data.csv bidon.html bidon.php data.csv johand@horus:~/src/php$ ls bidon.php ;\ > ls fact.php bidon.php fact.php

you take :

ls fact.php bidon.php fact.php

On the SHELL, after you typed "ls fact.php" did you hit Enter to validate? Then the same for "bidon.php" and "fact.php" or did you create a new line without validating and if so how? lol That's actually my problem! In the tutorial someone did it like you and I'm wondering how to do it... lol

Thanks +++

Sorry for the spam...

I believe I understand that you are deriving these commands from a tutorial.

Try reading a tutorial on process management with bash.
(I don't have a link directly in mind, look on CCFM, LEA, etc.)
You can chain commands with ';'
johand@horus:~/src/php$ ls bidon*; echo "End of the first command"; ls *csv ; echo "End of the third command"
bidon.html bidon.php
End of the first command
data.csv
End of the third command

Group in a subshell with redirection using '()'
johand@horus:~/src/php$ (ls bidon*; echo "End of the first command"; ls *csv ; echo "End of the third command") > brol
johand@horus:~/src/php$ cat brol
bidon.html
bidon.php
End of the first command
data.csv
End of the third command

etc etc...

echo -e "tata

tata"

In a bash (#!/bin/bash)  We use "
", like in C.  echo -e "Banananananana 
 
 Nana :-)"   Be careful!  "-e" is ESSENTIAL for the handling of "
" ;-)  -- &#9834;&#9834; Slowin' Cleaner development, Windows Optimizer &#9835;
