    Very simple script needed

    Hi Friends,
    I want a script(batch or ant) that should run on linux and it should ask the user to input a value and that value should be stored in a text file.

    Batch or Ant? Firstly, Batch is MS-DOS scripting, and is unique to Windows. Ant, are you referring to the Java-installation-doohickey? If so, not sure what you mean...

    Are you familiar at all with the Bash shell? The command to print something to the screen is 'echo', and to read input is 'read'. You can then use I/O redirection to echo to a file.

    Here is a basic guide to Bash scripting:
