echo (gdb mode only)

Syntax

echo string

Parameters

Description

This command prints an expression.

This command only applies when you are using the debugger in command-line mode. It has no effect when you are using the Console window in the GUI.

You can include nonprinting characters in the string using C escape sequences such as \n to print a newline.

The debugger does not print a newline unless you specify one.

Typing a space does not require a backslash.

As in C, you can use a backslash at the end of text to continue the command onto subsequent lines.

Example

The following example illustrates using a backslash at the end of text to continue the command onto subsequent lines:

echo This text\n\
occupies\n\
multiple lines.\n

produces the same output as

echo This text\n
echo occupies\n
echo multiple lines.\n
