Bash Script - Echo on same line

[spbr]

Hi,

With the below code, I'm trying to echo "line" onto the same output but all i get is:

#!/bin/bash
LINE=3
( head -1 file2.log
  head -${LINE} file1.log | tail -1
  echo "line"
  tail --lines=+2 file2.log
) > file2.new

 

The echo "line" is printed under the output from file1.log which is '3'.

1
3
line
2
3
4
5
6


7
8
9
10

 

How can I echo "line" onto the same line as the output?

 

Thank you

Use echo's "-n" switch:
 

#!/bin/bash
 
#Two lines
echo "These are two separate"
echo "Lines"
 
#One line
echo -n "This will all"
echo -n " appear on one "
echo -n " line, just use regular echo at "
echo " the end to make a new line"
