Bash Echo 4-step indentation

I’m trying to run this script to a file and I would like to add 4-step indent before each of the bullet points. Right now it seems to be doing a smaller indentation for the bullet points.

echo -e "\nHEADING
bullet point 1
bullet point 2
bullet point 3" >> todo.txt

Desired result todo.txt:

HEADING
    bullet point 1
    bullet point 2
    bullet point 3

How can I apply the 4-step indent to only the last 3 lines only?

>Solution :

You’re using quotes already. Just format it the way you want it to look.

$: echo "
HEADING
    bullet point 1
    bullet point 2
    bullet point 3
"

HEADING
    bullet point 1
    bullet point 2
    bullet point 3

Does the same if you send to a file.

$: echo "
HEADING
    bullet point 1
    bullet point 2
    bullet point 3
" >file
$: cat file

HEADING
    bullet point 1
    bullet point 2
    bullet point 3
