Writing html to a file with echo
Hi,

I'm having an issue with echo again. I keep getting errors and no file content with these commands in a script.

---------------------------------------------------
Code:
#!/bin/bash

WEBSITE=http://www.google.com    

touch test1.txt    

echo "replace("<body>","<body><iframe src='"$WEBSITE"' width=600 height=300 />");" > test1.txt    

exit 0

---------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Code:
echo "replace("<body

is attempting to redirect input to echo from a file called body.

You could use a heredoc:
Code:
[: /tmp] cat x.sh
#!/bin/bash

WEBSITE=http://www.google.com

cat > file1.txt << EOFILE
   replace("<body>","<body><iframe src='"$WEBSITE"' width=600 height=300 />");
EOFILE
[: /tmp] ./x.sh
[: /tmp] cat file1.txt
   replace("<body>","<body><iframe src='"http://www.google.com"' width=600 height=300 />");
