Hey guy,
how to make bash script to create foo.txt file and add current date into file content and that file always append.
example: today the script run and add today date into content foo.txt
and tomorrow the script will run and add tomorrow date in content foo.txt without remove today date.
thanks
boly
You can just echo the date and append it to a file, if the file does not exist, then it is created.
-bash-3.2$ echo `date` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+1 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+2 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+3 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+4 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+5 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+6 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ echo `date -d '+7 days'` >> dates.txt
-bash-3.2$ cat dates.txt
