carriage return and spacing in "here documents"

[hcclnoodles]

As the title suggests, i am having some trouble figuring out how to pass spaces and carriage returns to a 'here document' ie




#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/install_script.sh <<SCRIPT
yes
no
<pass carriage return here>
yes
no
<pass a space and then a carriage return here>
exit
SCRIPT

any idea on how i do this would be greatly appreciated

regards

You may try something like this:
echo "\
yes
no
\r
yes
no
\r
exit
" | /usr/local/install_script.sh

Hope This Helps, PH.
