Hi All,

I would like to know if you can set up in part of a script for the script to create a txt file and put some predetermined text into it.

#Example

make file example.txt

#Then it would the lines below into the text file as text.

Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

Does anyone have any answers.

touch example.txt
echo Line1 >> example.txt
echo Line2 >> example.txt
echo Line3>> example.txt
