  • 0

I created a simple shell script:

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "Starting Script now....."
echo "Write the info below to a new file in same directory...."

echo "name: John Smith"
echo "email: jsmith@demo.com
echo "gender: M"
echo 
echo
echo "File is done"

I want to create a file in the same directory with the Name, email, and gender details.
I don’t want to do it from the command line like this:

#./script.sh > my.config

I’d rather do it from within the file itself.

    Well, just add >> yourfile to the echo lines you want to write : 

    echo "name: John Smith" >> yourfile
echo "email: jsmith@demo.com" >> yourfile
echo "gender: M" >> yourfile
