Hello.
I'm trying to automate a script in ksh using a here document, but need to enter the space bar between two commands. Is there any way I can achieve this?
command1< EOF command2 space bar command3 EOF
How do I translate the space bar? I tried \r, \n, " " but no luck.
Ummm, the literal space (" ") character doesn't work ? ...before command3 (as in ") command3" or after command2 (as in "command2 ") ?
btw, what is a 'here' document ?
cheers, - steve
