Echo new line in bash shell
When echoing strings with new line character ("\n") you want the shell translates it for you (actually displaying text in new line not just the character), you can do as following:
mystr="Good morning.\nHow are you?\nI'm fine."
echo -e "$mystr"
And the result will be:
Good morning.
How are you?
I'm fine.
sites=$(wp site list --allow-root --path=/var/www/ --fields=blog_id,url --format=csv)
Note that quoting (") does matter to preserve multi-line values.
the result will be something like this:
566,myblog.com/somepath/
677,myblog.com/anotherpath/
...
