To write files in Unix, the syntax is
echo >
Example
echo "This is my message." > myfile.txt
To add another line in the myfile.txt, use the following syntax.
echo "This is my second message." >> myfile.txt
You may notice that double greater than sign (>>) is used instead of single greater than sign. This means that the message is written in append mode.
Let’s open the myfile.txt by using the following command.
tail myfile.txt
The content of the myfile.txt should have the following.
This is my message. This is my second message.
