I am trying to append /api/json to a url and echo it in the terminal. However the output looks strange. I see the string i'm trying to append ends up at the start of first string, also removing https://h from the url. Why does this happen?

❯ echo $location
https://hyc-************devops.com/queue/item/126498/
❯ echo "$location"/api/json
/api/jsonyc-************devops.com/queue/item/126498/

Cannot reproduce. It is appended in both bash and zsh. Looks like you have `\r` symbol somewhere. Check the the assignment of `location`. – Yuri Ginsburg Oct 22 '22 at 04:16
location is assigned from an api response. how can i remove the \r if present? – anandhu Oct 22 '22 at 05:44
Never mind. Heres the solution that worked : echo ${location//[$'\t\r\n']}api/json – anandhu Oct 22 '22 at 06:01
