Whether it goes to a new line or not depends entirely on what data was written there last -- did it end in a newline, or not?
See its like
echo "Hello" >> a.txt
echo "UNIX" >> a.txt
cat a.txt
Hello
UNIX
Now i need the data to be appended like this
Hello UNIX.....
I hope you have got my point.
Yep. You get newlines because you're adding newlines -- echo puts them on the end. If you don't want newlines, don't add newlines...
printf "hello" > file
printf "world" >>file
