UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,

I am trying to redirect output from a file to another file while retaining the contents of the input file.
For ex:
cat /tmp/Out1.cfg > test.txt
Now, test.txt would contain the value of Out1.cfg.,ie say for ex "12"
What i require is to have the value as "/tmp/Out1.cfg 12" in the output file.

Is there any way to achieve this? Please let me know..
Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Kiran

One way:

Code:

echo /tmp/Out1.cfg | cat - /tmp/Out1.cfg > test.out

or simply

Code:

echo /tmp/Out1.cfg > test.out
cat /tmp/Out1.cfg >> test.out

Code:

# cat file
12

Code:

# ./add file
FileName: file
----------------------------------------
12

Code:

#!/bin/bash
echo "FileName: $1" >> output
echo "----------------------------------------" >> output
cat $1 >> output
cat output
