Assuming you have a loop of some sort around your output statement, you could do something like this:-
Code:
for var in AA BB CC
do
   printf "%s" "$var"
done
printf "\n"

It's up to you where you want to set the redirection to append to the file. If you want to overwrite the file each time, you can perform a file open with:-
Code:
{ for var in AA BB CC
do
   printf "%s" "$var"
done
printf "\n"
} > output_file

I have written the printf with two arguments in case $var contains spurious data that could cause printf to do something unexpected. Some people find this annoying but it protects you somewhat from potentially damaging input.



I hope that this helps,
Robin
