Let us say you want to repeat a character such as '-' OR '=' multiple times while writing bash script. Please note that I needed a quick script to work on Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD server to repeat a string/character n times. One simple way to to repeat a string or character n times is simple use the echo command/printf command as follows:

printf '%s\n' '------------------------------------'
