The bash echo command isn’t using the escaped characters like “\n” and “\t”

echo "This is test string\nAnd this is next line"

For the above input it displays 

This is test string\nAnd this is next line

So how do I print on the next line?

    You need echo -e if you want escaped characters to be expanded:

    $ echo -e "This is test string\nAnd this is next line"
This is test string 
And this is next line
