How to correctly use an echo inside an echo?
Bit of a weird one i suppose, i want to use an echo inside an echo... For example...
i have a script that i want to use to take users input and create another script. Inside this script it creates it also needs to use echos...
echo "echo "hello"" >$file
echo "echo "goodbye"" >$file
Why is this not correct?
Thanks.
