I thought I'd try to write some CGI scripts in Bash (just for fun, of course
), and it works very good. I have a tiny problem though. How do you print escape characters (\n, \t etc.)? All CGI scripts must start with a header which is terminated by two newline characters (\n\n)... I print the header like this (which works):
echo "Content-type: text/html
"
But I'd like to do it the way you would do it in C (and many other languages):
echo "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
That won't work
Any ideas? (As you might have guessed, I'm not very familiar with bash
).
