I want to make 9 text files, each showing me one letter repeated 8 times. e.g. A.txt should have the letter A 8 times in a column) If I run the script without the cat, it indeed shows me 8 times the A letter, then 8 times the B, C, etc. When inserting the cat statement, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
They're two independent commands.
echo something
cat > somewhere
You can use pipe to pass the stdout to stdin:
echo something | cat > somewhere
