Question

UNIX: I want to put the output of a command in a file, but I need it to maintain all the new lines. My code:
#!/bin/csh
set list = `ls`
echo $list
On all the websites I go to they say this should work, but for me it still prints the whole thing in one line.

Answer 1

the following works for me
```sh
ls | awk '{print}'
```
Or if you want to save into a file simply redirect
```sh
ls | awk '{print}' > file
```

Answer 2

Unless I misunderstood what you mean

Answer 3

try
```
set list=`ls -1`
```
Note the last character is the digit 1.
Or if it does not work, use the awk solution proposed by @pitamar

Answer 4

lol, forgot about `ls -1` :)
