creating text file with content from script

hi,
can somebody tell me how I can create a text file with content from Bash script.
The file should be prefilled with information such as current date and time then leaving the user ability to input more data right below those prefilled content.
thank you Smilie

NAME
MojoMojo::Formatter::File - format file as XHTML DESCRIPTION
This formatter will format the file argument as XHTML. Usage: {{file TYPE filename}} {{file Text uploads/Files/test.txt}} TYPE is a plugin present in Formatter/File/ directory. Currently there are only three: Pod, DocBook and Text The plugin TYPE format only the file which the extension match with 'can_format' method. Respectively pod, xml and txt for existing plugins. For security reasons the path of file must be include in 'whitelisting' directory. You can use path_to(DIR) to describe directory in mojomojo.conf: Just an example to view the test pod file t/var/files/test.pod : Add this to mojomojo.conf : <Formatter::Dir> prefix_url /myfiles whitelisting __path_to(t/var/files)__ </Formatter::Dir> To see the pod content formatted in xhtml, write in the text area: {{file Pod path_to(t/var/files)test.pod}} To show recursively all files of directory see script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl script. To test it: # start mojomojo ./script/mojomojo_server.pl # run dir2mojomojo script ./script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl --dir=~/dev/mojomojo/t/var/files/ --url=/myfiles Connect to http://server:3000/myfiles/ METHODS
