linux:bash_output_x_chars

Example 1:

#
# Function print 50 hyphens
#
line () { printf -- '-%.0s' {1..50}; printf '\n'; }
#
# Execute function print 50 hyphens
#
line

Example 2:

Note: not as good an implementation as example 1, but here you can change what character is being output when calling the function.

#!/bin/bash
 
#
# Function print 50 characters
#
line (){ for i in {1..50}; do echo -n "$1"; done && printf "\n"; }
#
# Execute function draw 50 hyphens
#
line '-'
