Bash: Why is echo adding extra space?

Question

I get:

$ echo -e \"D\"{a,b,c}\".jpg\\n\"
Da.jpg
 Db.jpg
 Dc.jpg

Note: The extra spaces before Db and Dc on the 2nd and 3rd line of the outp

Answer 1

The easiest and cleanest solution is to add a backspace to the front of each line:

echo -e -n "\bD"{a,b,c}".jpg\n"

This produces the desired output.
