Same way as you would create any other file. echo <whatever> > /path/to/my/new/script.sh maybe.

After creating it, you might want to use chmod to make it executable.

That is about it.

Check out the awk programming language. Sounds that it could be useful in your script.

There may be good reasons for doing what you are asking, but for every good reason, there are probably ten bad reasons. This sounds like a novice question, so why don't you explain what you are really trying to accomplish?
