Grep output stored in a variable is echoed as a single line without quotes

Hello, it's the incompetent me.

This will be quick, but I'm writing it down as a note.

When I echoed the result of grep stored in a variable, it was output without line breaks for some reason.

So, here is the test script.

#!/bin/bash

FILE=nohup.out
## Try putting it in a variable
GR=`grep ACPI $FILE` 

## This outputs it as a single line
echo $GR

echo "-----Above this line is without double quotes. Below is with.------"

## This outputs it with proper newlines
echo "$GR"

Let's try running it.

This is dmesg output, so I've omitted some parts, but it looks like the above.

When you want to output it as a single line, you should expand it without quotes; if you want newlines, you should use quotes.

Well, that's all there is to it...

That's all for now.

Looking forward to your continued support.
