echo

The echo command prints the specified text as prompt.

Syntax

echo text

text is the specific text to be output.

Usage

The echo command allows you to generate exactly the output that you want.

Special characters can be included in text using C escape sequences, such as '\n' to print a newline. No newline is printed unless you specify one. In addition to the standard C escape sequences, a backslash followed by a space stands for a space. A backslash at the end of text can be used to continue the command onto subsequent lines.

Example

(fgldb) echo hello\n
hello
(fgldb)
