Hi,
how do you append to a variable? I can only get it to work with a seperate file like this:
printf $number1 >> sum.txt
I tried this :
$number1 >> $sum
but it says $sum: ambiguous redirect, any ideas? :)

Jump to PostHey there,
For scripting in shell, you can just concatenate the two variables
sum="hi "
host # number1="there"
host # echo $sum
hi
host # sum="${sum}$number1"
host # echo $sum
hi thereHope that helps :)
