been messing around with linux for a few months...not too good yet. thinking about taking a class or something, this #### is hard.......anyway, im trying to make an output file using the input from a prompt. heres basically what i have now (random example)
echo -n "Please enter your name: "
read name
##
echo "This is a new file."
echo "It was created by $name."
basically, all ive done is set the variable, im trying to figure out how to take that variable and use it in an output file...i am at a loss, been working for like 2 hours, i have tried a few different things, but not the results im looking for.
