putting strings on a file

Comment:

Hi all, I think this is very easy for you :)... I should write on file1 lines like: var:resultoftail but I cannot put everything on the same line by using this command in the script: echo $var":" >> file1|tail -1 file2 >> file1 Nor if I use \\n. How can I do to 'build' every single line ?! I'd appreciate very much any help! Cheers, Irene

sed -e 's/\(.*\)/var:\1/' file1 Also the man pages for echo show that the \c can be used with echo to suppress a new line if you want to do something like this: echo -e "I have \c" echo -e "a red \c" echo -e "pencil box."
