  ECHO(1F)  (Form and Menu Language Interpreter Utilities) ECHO(1F)



  NAME
       echo - put string on virtual output

  SYNOPSIS
       echo [ string ] . . .

  DESCRIPTION
       If no argument is given, echo looks to stdin for input.  The
       echo command directs each string it is passed to stdout.  It
       is often used in conditional execution or for passing a
       string to another command.

  EXAMPLES
       Validate Field 1 as integer:
            valid=`echo "$F1" | regex '^[0-9]+$'`

       Write information to stdout when a form is done:
       done=`echo "$LOGNAME is on-line" | message`

  SEE ALSO
       echo(1)
