I am looking for help on writing to a text file:

Lets say i have a file name text.text and i want to echo out "enter name"
then echo "enter age". The collected information i would like to append it to a file that is created when the function is called:

function addText() {

name=$1
age=$2

folder="$HOME/dir/"

fileName=${folder}dir${age}.txt
tempFile=${folder}films${name}Temp.txt

echo "$name" >> $fileName

}

input:
Enter Name: Raymond
Enter Age: 20

next input:

enter name: ray
enter age: 22


the Output inside the file should look like:

"Raymond", "20"
"ray", "22"

... etc

"Captain, sensors indicate a class 4 homework alert ahead...."

Captain, i am working in a project which is almost done. I need to learn how to do things differently in order to become better.

This peace of code works but i don't like it:

echo "$age" >> some.txt

Thank you. These links are helpful.
