output to a file

Godsmacker777 · 12-07-2004, 09:54 AM

I'd like to have the output of one file, just text, add a line to another text file. I know it's fairly simple, but I can't seem to find the info on it.

I run gentoo, and have all of my use flags stored in a text file, use.flags and I would like the lines added to the bottom of make.conf

Thanks~

cat use.flags >> make.conf

wow, so the double >> makes it append to the end of an already existent file?

If so, that's a handy one to know!!

Thanks!!

handy eh.

here are a couple others:

echo "net-www/mozilla-firefox ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

grep -i 'xorg' /etc/portage/* >> ./xorg_results
