create file in for loop.
 

I'm stuck and I've been searching and can't figure out how to do the script to this question.

Make a bash script that will use a for loop to create 130 test outputs called Outputs/txxx.out where xxx is the test number 1 to 130. Each .out file will have the contents:

Test: xxx
Date: current date

Start by showing use your code so far and exactly what errors/msgs you get.

This is all I have.

I don't know how to send the test and date into the file. How do I send echo "Tests: $i" echo "Date:" date into the output file?

Just append the filename
Notes:
1. indent your code
2. 'touch' is redundant; the echo will create the file
3. '>' means output to file, overwriting what's there! '>>' means append.
In fact, you could use append on both cmds; it also creates the file if not extant
4. why 'date'; that doesn't do anything ... see note 5
5. I think what you mean for the last 2 lines is
Do read those links above.

Thanks, I thought that appending with >> deleted the content of the file before appending.

Note:
On the date part of the code i meant to write it like this

If your ultimate purpose is to create 130 files, ranging from 1 to 130, then the touch command can do the same without using a for loop or script, like this:
