  • 0

When I do the following find overrides index.html where I would have expected it would just append its results.

echo "<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/></head></body>" > index.html

find . -name "*.html" -exec echo "<a href=\"{}\">{}</a><br/>" \; >> index.html

It is suppose to find all html files and create an index of them.

Does anyone how to do this, ideally without using temp files?

    Problem is in your echo line, echo line should be:

    echo '<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/></head></body>' > index.html
    

    You have " inside your text and in your echo command boundary as well.
