Lightbulb Appending same string to multiple files in one line?
I have a string that I need to append to 3 files.
Say,
Code:
$ echo "Hello"


I want to append this “Hello” to three files, file1, file2 and file3.The files are all in different directories and the file names have no common pattern.Can I do it in one line? If yes, how? Smilie
