Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,
[Being a Monday, flames are okay for those who want to vent out the weekend's hangover;-)]
I am using a small shell script to modify one of my named files, an include file.
Please give only a simple answer. This is in bash.
How do I get a tab inserted in this line:
echo "something \"$SOMEVAR\"<two tabs here>{ type master; file \"$SOMEVAR\"; };" >> $NAMEDCONF
Or is it even possible?
Thanks
-Wash
