I see myself adding files here and there on my projects (JBoss cli commands, shell scripts, SQL scripts...) and I use the touch command in Forge extensively. But how could I add content to these files ? I mostly write Forge scripts, so I would love to do something like that in my script :
# Creates a project project-new --named test # Adds a few extra files and directories mkdir src/main/script ; touch src/main/resources/insert.sql ; // This creates an empty file touch src/main/script/wildfly-show.cli --content (((( // This adds content to the file version # #################### # # System Properties # #################### /core-service=platform-mbean/type=runtime:read-attribute(name=system-properties) # #################### # # Datasource # #################### /subsystem=datasources/data-source=ApplicationBlancheH2DS:read-resource ))))
And this command would just create a file with the previous content in it. As you can see, this can be tricky : when to end the content of a file (something similar to <![CDATA[]]>)
George mentioned on the mailing list :
I think piping to a file would be more intuitive and it should work now:
echo Hi > a.txt
The problem with this, is I can't make it work the way I want. In fact, each time I do a echo text > file.txt, the file.txt is created in the directory below, not the current one. As I can't create a file in another directory.
[Devoxx]$ ls [Devoxx]$ project-new --named testecho ***SUCCESS*** Project named 'testecho' has been created. [testecho]$ ls pom.xml src [testecho]$ echo Text to add to this new file > newfile.txt [testecho]$ ls pom.xml src [testecho]$ cd .. [Devoxx]$ ls newfile.txt testecho [Devoxx]$ [testecho]$ echo One test again > ./file.txt [testecho]$ ls pom.xml src
