这里只提一个简单的单行连接，因为它有时很有用。

# for bash

v=" guga "$'\n'"   puga "

# Just for an example.
v2="bar "$'\n'"   foo "$'\n'"$v"

# Let's simplify the previous version of $v2.
n=$'\n'
v3="bar ${n}   foo ${n}$v"

echo "$v3" 

你会得到这样的结果

bar 
   foo 
 guga 
   puga 

所有前导和结尾空格将被保留

echo "$v3" > filename

下面是我喜欢的方式来分配一个多行字符串的变量(我认为它看起来不错)。

read -r -d '' my_variable << \
_______________________________________________________________________________

String1
String2
String3
...
StringN
_______________________________________________________________________________

在这两种情况下，下划线的数量是相同的(这里是80)。

我发现了更多的解决方案，因为我想有每一行适当缩进:

You may use echo: echo "this is line one" \ "\n""this is line two" \ "\n""this is line three" \ > filename It does not work if you put "\n" just before \ on the end of a line. Alternatively, you can use printf for better portability (I happened to have a lot of problems with echo): printf '%s\n' \ "this is line one" \ "this is line two" \ "this is line three" \ > filename Yet another solution might be: text='' text="${text}this is line one\n" text="${text}this is line two\n" text="${text}this is line three\n" printf "%b" "$text" > filename or text='' text+="this is line one\n" text+="this is line two\n" text+="this is line three\n" printf "%b" "$text" > filename Another solution is achieved by mixing printf and sed. if something then printf '%s' ' this is line one this is line two this is line three ' | sed '1d;$d;s/^ //g' fi It is not easy to refactor code formatted like this as you hardcode the indentation level into the code. It is possible to use a helper function and some variable substitution tricks: unset text _() { text="${text}${text+ }${*}"; } # That's an empty line which demonstrates the reasoning behind # the usage of "+" instead of ":+" in the variable substitution # above. _ "" _ "this is line one" _ "this is line two" _ "this is line three" unset -f _ printf '%s' "$text"

或者用空格保持文本缩进:

#!/bin/sh

sed 's/^[[:blank:]]*//' >filename <<EOF
    this is line one
    this is line two
    this is line three
EOF

相同但使用变量:

#!/bin/sh

text="$(sed 's/^[[:blank:]]*//' << whatever
    this is line one
    this is line two
    this is line three
)"

echo "$text" > filename

;-)

对于这个目的，Heredoc听起来更方便。它用于向命令解释器程序(如ex或cat)发送多个命令

cat << EndOfMessage
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
Line 3.
EndOfMessage

<<后面的字符串表示停止的位置。

要将这些行发送到文件，请使用:

cat > $FILE <<- EOM
Line 1.
Line 2.
EOM

你也可以将这些行存储到一个变量中:

read -r -d '' VAR << EOM
This is line 1.
This is line 2.
Line 3.
EOM

这将行存储到名为VAR的变量中。

打印时，请记住变量周围的引号，否则将看不到换行符。

echo "$VAR"

更好的是，您可以使用缩进使它在代码中更加突出。这一次，只需在<<后添加一个-来阻止选项卡出现。

read -r -d '' VAR <<- EOM
    This is line 1.
    This is line 2.
    Line 3.
EOM

但是在代码中必须使用制表符而不是空格来缩进。

如果你把它放在下面，它就会工作:

AA='first line
\nsecond line 
\nthird line'
echo $AA
output:
first line
second line
third line
