Seperate commands on the same line

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

hello, is there a way to seperate commands that are on the same line?

ie: echo "yes count(*)>0:" $passvar > dsp cat dsp cat dsp > log

i'm trying to put these 3 commands on the same line, but when i do they all get concatenated into 1 lieteral

if i put the cat commands on different lines they work ok, but not when on the same line

is there some kind of seperator that will simulate a sperate line or something like that?

thanks for any insights!

Why do you want them on the same line? You dont gain anything by it, and it makes your script harder to read and modify.
