Capturing multiple line output to a bash variable

Question

I've got a script 'myscript' that contains the following:

abc
def
ghi

in another script, I call:

declare RESULT=$(./myscript)

and $RESULT gets the value

abc def ghi

Is there a way to store the result either with the newlines, or with '\n' character so I can output it with 'echo -e'?

Answer 1

Actually, RESULT contains what you want - to demonstrate:

echo "$RESULT"

What you show is what you get from:

echo $RESULT
