A little unsure of something
If i want to display a banner that says Happy Bday, but I want to put that output banner into a file called bday4me,

could I use the command (echo) or (banner -w35) Happy Bday >> bday4me

would this command work? Sorry for asking, but i'm at home just now and don't have access to a UNIX system.

thanks

Code:
banner -w79 "Happy Birthday, Marie" > marie.txt

Create an ascii "banner" with the width of 79 characters. The output is sent to file marie.txt.

Another utility for ascii text art is figlet.

Code:
figlet "Funny!"

These might need to be installed. They don't seem to be standard on my particular linux system...

We do have a search function, folks. Search the Linux forum for "banner" and you might find:
