Arguments
Ok so i had to create a file and put some random text into it which i did.

THen u make a script which takes 2 arguments.

The first being a line of text, the second being your newly created file.

The script should take the first argument and insert it into the very top (the first line) of the file named in your second argument.


ive got this so far

BUFF=$(cat $2) echo $1 >> $2 echo " $BUFF" >> $2

but im getting the wrong output when i cat the file i created 'heaney'

"Seamus Heaney was born in April 1939, the eldest member of a family which would eventually contain nine children.


unixisbrillant echo

i need to get the bottom line "unixisbrillant" at the top

create_text_search_configuration

CREATE TEXT SEARCH 
CONFIGURATION(7)			  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation		       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION(7)

NAME

       CREATE_TEXT_SEARCH_CONFIGURATION - define a new text search configuration

SYNOPSIS

       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION name (
	   PARSER = parser_name |
	   COPY = source_config
       )

DESCRIPTION

       CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION creates a new text search configuration. A text search configuration specifies a text search parser that
       can divide a string into tokens, plus dictionaries that can be used to determine which tokens are of interest for searching.

       If only the parser is specified, then the new text search configuration initially has no mappings from token types to dictionaries, and
       therefore will ignore all words. Subsequent ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION commands must be used to create mappings to make the
       configuration useful. Alternatively, an existing text search configuration can be copied.

       If a schema name is given then the text search configuration is created in the specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current
       schema.

       The user who defines a text search configuration becomes its owner.

       Refer to Chapter 12, Full Text Search, in the documentation for further information.

PARAMETERS

       name
	   The name of the text search configuration to be created. The name can be schema-qualified.

       parser_name
	   The name of the text search parser to use for this configuration.

       source_config
	   The name of an existing text search configuration to copy.

NOTES

       The PARSER and COPY options are mutually exclusive, because when an existing configuration is copied, its parser selection is copied too.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION statement in the SQL standard.
