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?
