Aha! I got it COMPLETELY the wrong way then Smilie
Let's try with this:-
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

read uid?"What users are you adding? "          # Prompt and accept input
read wholename?"What is their human name? "     # Prompt and accept input
echo "$uid $wholename" >> file                  # Display result


Is that a bit better? The >> appends to the named file.



Have I done any better this time? There is no validation here, of course, so one could input anything, or even nothing. Is that a problem? Smilie
