I was wondering what I should do to enter a carriage return after each add-apt and I didn't want to ask so.... I did a search for the information. I discovered that to do it I just need to put a '\r'. Cool? I thought so.... until I ran the command. After running the command it spat out:

$ for rep in ppa:dhor/myway ppa:hugin/hugin-builds ppa:mc3man/trusty-media ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair; do sudo add-apt-repository $rep\r ; done 

[sudo] password for bmike1: 

'This PPA does not support trusty'

Cannot add PPA: ''This PPA does not support trusty''.

I'm pretty sure the problem is the \r because it doesn't say that when I hit the return key.

My websearch was fruitless so..... will I just have to press enter

Put the sudo in front of the add add repo command, or see this

There.  A command that will take a list of repos.  And if you did that a lot, make it an alias or a function:

 

function addrepos() { for rep in $* ; do add-apt-repository $rep ; done ; }

 

Put in bashrc or whatever and there you go, a single command.

add-apt-repository only takes a single repository at a time.

does  'add-apt-repository <whatever>' work like 'apt-get install <whatever>' where you can just list the repositories after one ' add-apt-repository?

'add-apt-repository <whatever1> <whatever2> <whatever3> <whatever4>'
