echo test >> test.txt
appends the word "test" at the bottom of a file called "test.txt" How do you pipe text to the top of a file? You could use the custom print command to pipe the file into a temp file and then cat the file you want to append to into that temp file, then overwrite the existing file. Ummm... there must be a better way...Perl, anyone? ross _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
