First, how do I add a carrige return to a string, for example I have a
statement like { ERR="error" }. I can generate the error message fine,
but wheen there are multiple errors they are all strung together. What
would I put in to add a linefeed to the above statement?
I assume you're intending you use ERR with the procmail LOG statement, as in
LOG=$ERR
There are several approaches, the one I use is to put the following at the
top of my .procmailrc file:
NL='
'
(note the line break inbetween the quotes).
Then, you could log errors as:
LOG=$ERR$NL
or
ERR="error$NL"
LOG=$ERR
