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

You can get the desired effect by using xargs to separate the arguments spit by the first echo into a line each:

$ echo "D"{a,b,c}".jpg" | xargs -n1 echo
Da.jpg
Db.jpg
Dc.jpg
