New to Linux environment - script help?

[pr3ciouzboi]

Hi, can anyone help me with a script problem that was given to me -
what I am using is cygwin the emulator to replace the whole Linux O/S.

Here is the problem.
Create a script that will produce a text file that has a list of the files in the present working directory.
At the end auto execution from the command prompt should be able to be performed.

The only thing what I know how to start the coding part is
#!bin/bash

and that's it. One hint that i got was to use the the redirection operators e.g. ">"

Can anyone help me out please?
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums!

This looks like it might be a homework question.

Here are a couple of good sites for writing your own scripts:

LinuxCommand.org: Writing shell scripts.

Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial - A Beginner's handbook

Hope one or both of them helps to get you started.

Let us know how it goes.

yeah I went through both of those sites already prior to posting this thread but still don't hav a clue of how to do the codings.

Sorry, but we prefer not to answer people's homework questions. If you make an effort, and are stuck at one small part, we might throw a couple of hints your way, but we're not gonna do it all for you!

Sorry.
