About creating files... when a file is opened, it will (generally) be created if it does not exist.
Code:
echo hello
echo hello > datafile

The first line will display "hello" on the screen. The second line sends "hello" into a file call datafile. If datafile pre-existed, whatever data used to be in it is lost. And if datafile did not exist, well it does now.
