Michelle let us know the exact command you typed on the command line, perhaps, as mwright has suggested, you may have simply redirected the output of your script to another file, however it does look as though you have redirected the output from something else to your script, and hence ovewritten it 
Don't worry! When I first delved into shell scripting, I had written a 1500 word beautifully streamlined script with sed and awk statement that performed a number of functions, it took me 2 weeks - then the HP 712/60 it was on died And along with it so did my script. But alas losing that script actually taught me a lot more as I had to write it again and picked up even more skiils as my knowledge of scripting increased!
...Just a little anecdote to show you that you have not been the first, and you wont be the last

I have about 20 xml files I want to use xmllint to pretty print:
xmllint --format file01.xml > pretty_file01.xml
xmllint --format file02.xml > pretty_file02.xml
etc
Is there a way I can just use "xmllint --format" on all the current xml files so I don't have to run this command 20 times?? :( (5 Replies)

script
script(1) General Commands Manual script(1) NAME
script - Makes a transcript of terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [file] The script command makes a transcript of everything printed on your terminal. OPTIONS
Appends the transcript to file rather than writing it to file. OPERANDS
The name of an output file that will contain the transcript of the session. If this parameter is omitted, the file typescript is written. DESCRIPTION
The transcript is written to file, or appended to file if the -a option is given. If no file name is given, the transcript is saved in the file typescript. The script ends when the forked shell exits. This program is useful when you are using a CRT and want a hard-copy record of the dialog (for example, a technical writer might create an example of a working session this way). If you specify the -a option and the file does not exist, it is created. If you do not specify the -a option and the file exists, it is replaced. RESTRICTIONS
The script command requires a streams based terminal. In single user mode, streams may not be enabled. Under these circumstances, script will exit with no action. If you are the superuser and need to run this command in single user mode, use the following special instruc- tions. Enabling Streams If it is necessary to enable a streams environment in the single user mode, enter the command /sbin/init.d/streams. This command is avail- able to the superuser only. SEE ALSO
Commands: autopush(8), cat(1), echo(1), strsetup(8), tee(1) System Administration script(1)
