title: Adding newline characters to unix shell variables
body: <p>I have a variable in a shell script in which I'd like to format the data. The variable stores new data during every iteration of a loop. Each time the new data is stored, I'd like to insert a new line character. Here is how I'm trying to store the data into the variable.</p>
  
  <p><code>VARIABLE="$VARIABLE '\n' SomeData"</code></p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, the output includes the literal <code>'\n'</code> Any help would be appreciative.</p>
