Create file, add text to the file in one command
open a terminal window type:
so simply put --echo "The text you want added to a new file" >> the_file_name
use echo command with quotes around the text " " then the >> tells the text to be put into a file name.
Nice way to create a quick note - or make a super simple bash script.
I use it this when i create a junk account on 10min mail so i dont forget the user name and password.
Example: I just created the account on website forumpost.com bartsimpson with a password of 12345678: Now i want to quicky make a text file with that info in it.
Now you have a file w/ this info in it. SIMPLE AS PIEEXAMPLE:
echo "Site name forumpost.com user: bsimpson password: 12345678" >> forum_account.txt
