Writing to a file within a script
Hi, At the moment i have a script where it asks the user if they want to create a file and what to put in the file. The problem is when the script is run the user inputs the information, though when they are finished typing what they want to be in the file there is no way for the program to know they are finished or the user to exit. The code that i am using for this currently is: Code:
echo "\nPlease enter a name of a file that you wish to create" read file echo "\nPlease type something that you wish to be inside it\n" read desc cat >$file $desc echo "Thank you for creating a file" Thanks for any help. |
