Hello everybody,

Hopefully I've got a simple question for you. I am working on putting together a bash script to automatically gather system information into a file from various commands.

I've got most everything else figured out, but I am wondering if there is a way that I can use the touch command for something like the following:

The script would be executed, and the first step would be a prompt that asks the user for the name of the system they are working on. For example:

What is the name of the system you are currently working on?

The user would then enter the name of the system, and then the touch command would create a file with the name that the user entered.

Is something like this possible? Thanks!

You need the "read" command, the usage is trivial enough.

Sheesh, that's easy enough. Thanks!!
