Hi,
To correct my previous question: I realized that the issue was not in
embedding a newline character but actually printing out the variable value
in a TRAP call. For example, something like the following works:
TRAP='echo "
LOG1 $LOG1
processing end time:"'
when LOG1 has a multiline string value. However, if I want to add one
more command in TRAP as in:
TRAP='echo "
LOG1 $LOG1
processing end time:"; date'
it falls appart because of the multiline 'echo' or multiline LOG1 value.
Does anyone have idea how to combine two commands in TRAP and still be
able to use this multiline echo?
Regards,
Vlado

For example, the following works okay:
LOG="

but the following gives an error:
NL="
"
giving the error: Unmatched ".
My plan was to use NL as in:
LOG1="$LOG1$NL some new info"
or could I simply use
LOG1="$LOG1
some new info"
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
