At some point, the developers decided that the default output of the command line tools would be for consumption by other programs or scripts-- and any command with the -verbose option would be for human consumption. As a result, non-verbose command-line program output does not include a newline. For the -format option, you can insert a newline with \n but unfortunately you cannot with the compare program other than returning verbose info.

I'll mention that if you want an added newline, you can have it:

Code: Select all

compare -format "\n" -metric RMSE rose: rose: NULL
