How to execute multi-line commands?

0183

To execute multi-line commands in the command line, you can use the following methods depending on your operating system:

On Windows (Command Prompt):

  1. Use the caret (^) at the end of each line to indicate that the command continues on the next line. For example:
    echo This is a ^
    multi-line command

On macOS and Linux (Terminal):

  1. Use the backslash (\) at the end of each line to indicate that the command continues on the next line. For example:

    echo "This is a \
    multi-line command"
  2. Alternatively, you can use parentheses to group commands:

    (
    echo "This is a"
    echo "multi-line command"
    )

These methods allow you to write and execute commands that span multiple lines in the terminal.
