[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-1860) Writing files with content

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1860?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Antonio Goncalves updated FORGE-1860: ------------------------------------- Description: 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 : {code} # 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 )))) {code} 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:?? {code} echo Hi > a.txt {code} 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. {code} [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 {code} was: 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.
