Getting user input and updating file

linuxdev · 02-24-2004, 09:31 AM

hey all

I am trying to write a script which can take input from user-- like version number,
patch files etc and then should be able to add these files in the desired location
of my file(where I want inputs to be added)

Any clues how to due that....or any reference book to look for this particular
requirement...

Thanks all

Try this:
###
#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter filename to update: "
read filename
echo "Enter what to add: "
read upd
echo $upd >> $filename
