Hi,
Im trying to send sms message from this shell script adding line feed:

#!/bin/sh #$1 is the destination phone number # $2 is the message text # if you leave $2 or both empty, the script will ask you DEST=$1 shift TEXT=$@ if [ -z "$DEST" ]; then printf "Destination: " read DEST fi if [ -z "$TEXT" ]; then printf "Text: " read TEXT fi FILE=`mktemp /var/spool/sms/outgoing/send_XXXXXX` echo "To: $DEST" >> $FILE echo "" >> $FILE echo -n "$TEXT" >> $FILE

I tried to execute this "/send_sms.sh 39123456789 First Line \r\n Second Line \r\n Third Line"
SMS is send and \r\n are removed from SMS, but I do not receive linefeed on my phone.
Thanks
for help.

Enter the text in quotation marks:

/send_sms.sh 39123456789 "First Line\nSecond Line\nThird Line"

or

> Second Line
> Third Line"

Hi keke and thanks for aswer.
I call the script from OpenHab, an home automation system.
This is the string I pass to SMS3:

Stato=Modula 70%\nFan/Cos=OPEN\nOHab=ON\nCld=ON\nMan=OFF\nT_Set=21\nS_Set=38\nT_Amb=21.62\nS_Pos=38\nCald=ON\nAsse=OFF

it stop sending message before % and i only receive Stato=Modula 70
Is there a way to send also the % sign? Removing it \n work

Thanks

It seems that OpenHab cuts the text. I cannot help with this.

Removing % it works.
I don't know where it broke the mechanism. In case i removed all % with openhab, before sending SMS. Now SMS is sent with Carriage Return.
Many Thanks for help
