How to use escape characters in Linux?

In Linux, the escape character is implemented using a backslash (\). By adding a backslash before special characters, you can escape them into regular characters. For example, if you want to include double quotes in a string, you can use the escape character “.

Here are some commonly used escape characters in Linux and their usage:

  1. \n: line break
  2. Tabulation Mark
  3. Carriage return
  4. Backslash
  5. single quotation mark
  6. quotation marks

For example, to create a string with newline characters in Linux, you can use the following command:

echo -e "Hello\nWorld"

This will result in:

Hello
World

Note: In some special cases, if escape characters fail to work properly, you can try enclosing the string in single or double quotes.
