Carriage return to file on bash-CodePudding

I'm trying to redirect a echo to file but the carriage returns(\r) are inserted as ^M. This is the command I'm using

echo -e "<VirtualHost *:80>
                \r  DocumentRoot /var/www/html
                \r  ServerName site
                \r  ServerAlias site
                \r  ErrorLog \"/var/log/apache2/html-error.log\"
                \r  LogFormat \"%t<>%u<>%h<>%O<>%T<>%>s<>%{Referer}i<>%r<>%{User-Agent}i\" combined
                \r  CustomLog \"/var/log/apache2/html-access.log\" combined
                \r  RewriteEngine on
                \r  RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =site
                \r  RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
                \r</VirtualHost>\n" > teste.txt

This is what it looks in the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
                ^M  DocumentRoot /var/www/webapp
                ^M  ServerName iqnus.bvloja.com
                ^M  ServerAlias iqnus.bvloja.com
                ^M  ErrorLog "/var/log/apache2/webapp-error.log"
                ^M  LogFormat "%t<>%u<>%h<>%O<>%T<>%>s<>%{Referer}i<>%r<>%{User-Agent}i" combined
                ^M  CustomLog "/var/log/apache2/webapp-access.log" combined
                ^M  RewriteEngine on
                ^M  RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =iqnus.bvloja.com
                ^M  RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
                ^M</VirtualHost>

You're probably looking for \n instead of \r. A new line on a non-Windows machine would be just \n, or if you're on Windows it would be \r\n.

CodePudding user response：

the -e flag enables the interpretation of backslash escapes. Just use echo instead of echo -e.
