send text to file bash

bendeco13 · 10-28-2004, 06:33 PM

I was wondering how to send text from a bash script to a file.
I know I have to use the < "FILE" command, but I don't know how to tell it what text to put in the file.

anyone know how?

What are you trying to achieve, write to a file
from a script, or redirect a file into a script?

< is an input-redirector.

Cheers,

Sorry for the confusion (lack of info), but I'm trying to write to a file
from a script.
The text that will be entered into the file will be contained in the script.
I just don't know how to make the script write the contained text to the file.

echo $TEXT > my_file

Just as if you were in a shell.
