Write result to output file
Good morning everybody,

Beeing an absolute newbie in shell scripting I would like to look for some help here.

I would like to read an external text file and format the data and write it to an output file.

What I was trying to do was to display the result (this worked).

But now I would like to write this result to a external file.

I would appreciate that some of you guys could help me out with this.

Here is what I did.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$data_file="theoriginalfile";
 
open(DAT, $data_file) || die("Could not open file!");
@raw_data=<DAT>;
close(DAT);
## Start input to the output file
print "\$H:CREATE";
print "\n";
print "\$H:hardcodeevalue,hardcodeevalue,hardcodeevalue,hardcodeevalue";
print "\n";
foreach $lineintheoriginalfile (@raw_data)
{
chomp($lineintheoriginalfile );
($val1,$val2,$val3,$val4,$val5)=split(/\;/,$simline);
print "\$R:<PARENT>hardcodeevalue,${val1},,hardcodeevalue,,hardcodeevalue='':hardcodeevalue=${val2}:hardcodeevalue=${val3}:hardcodeevalue=${val4}:Profile=hardcodeevalue:A4KI=1:Model=hardcodeevalue:ADM=AA:Manufacturer=hardcodeevalue:OTA Key=1111 <CHILD>hardcodeevalue,${val5
},,L
OAD,,,";
print "\n";
}
print "\$F:";
#end input to the output file
print "\n";

the external file is similar to this
Code:
val1;val2;val3;val4;val5
val1;val2;val3;val4;val5
val1;val2;val3;val4;val5

I hope it's clear Smilie

Thank's a lot,

You can run the script and redirect its output in any desired file as below.
suppose my script name is test.sh and i want to save its output in file called output.log then:
./test.sh >> output.log
