How to post the code with long lines?

[Kirkx]

I can't figure out how to post the code with long lines on these forums. Bracketing the code with four tildes works ok but only if the code is short:

~~~~

your code goes here

~~~~

Example:

#!/bin/bash
bold=`tput bold`
normal=`tput sgr0`
echo "${bold}**********************"
echo "Test Script"
echo "**********************${normal}"
echo ""
echo ""
echo "Test script running ..."
echo ""
echo "Test script run completed."
# Script End

If the code line is longer it gets cut off at the right end:

#!/bin/bash
datetime=$(date +"%y%m%d-%H%M")
/usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -j2 -z1 -i 1024000 -fsck-src-part-y -p true saveparts lite-$datetime sda21 sda22

The last line should be:

/usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -j2 -z1 -i 1024000 -fsck-src-part-y -p true saveparts lite-$datetime sda21 sda22

Here is how it looks on Ubuntu forums:

Thanks for suggestions. For now, I have figured out a workaround. Throw away the shebang line:

datetime=$(date +"%y%m%d-%H%M")
/usr/sbin/ocs-sr -q2 -j2 -z1 -i 1024000 -fsck-src-part-y -p true saveparts lite-$datetime sda21 sda22

Got it. Thanks for sharing that.
