I want to send a bunch of line to an output file - my script is creating a configuration file. I want to do something like this but not sure how..

Code: 
outputfile.config<
text of file
lines of configs
yada yada yada
>>EOF
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
Why not simply something like this ?
echo "\
text of file
lines of configs
yada yada yada" > outputfile.config

For another way, in your shell man page have a look at here-document

Hope This Helps, PH.
