I have been writing Unix Shell scripts, but I am inexperienced in proper formatting. There were many instances where I had to write long lines to be executed as a single command.
Question is: is there a way that I can split a single long line of Unix command into multiple lines, yet make it execute as a single command?
Thanks.

Either break apart the long string into smaller, and maybe more readable, components or use a trailing "" to denote a break in the line.
from 'man bash':
If a pair appears, and the backslash is not itself
quoted, the is treated as a line continuation (that is, it
is removed from the input stream and effectively ignored).
