storing data into text file

Hi, i would like to store my gross wage into my text file in the fifth segment like ${Name},${ID},${HP},${Type}, ${wage}
what codes should i add for me to execute that.

Code:

line=`grep -i "$Name" $PAYROLL`

  Type=`echo $line | cut -d "," -f4`



if [[ $Type -eq $one ]];

then

echo "He is an Salaried employee"

echo "Enter hourly wage: "

read wage

echo "Enter hours worked this week: "

read hours

gross=`echo "$wage*$hours" | bc`

echo "Gross wages: $" $gross



elif [[ $Type -eq $two ]];

then

echo "He is an Hourly employee"

echo "Enter hourly wage: "

read wage

echo "Enter hours worked this week: "

read hours

gross=`echo "$wage*$hours" | bc`

echo "Gross wages: $" $gross

elif [[ "$Type" -eq $three ]];

then

echo "He is an Commission employee"

echo "Enter hourly wage: "

read wage

echo "Enter hours worked this week: "

read hours

gross=`echo "$wage*$hours" | bc`

sed -i.back

echo "Gross wages: $" $gross

else

echo "Unknown value for Type: $Type"

 

fi

#done

fi

This sounds like a homework problem, no?

possibly.

We tried to help OP with this script over at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...on-4175483546/...

OP: again, please indent your code correctly (if you don't know what that means, either look it up or ask).

As for writing to files in a shell script, the simple way is to redirect the output of echo, using > or >> operators. Have a search online. Eg "bash output redirection".
