Use >> to concatenate text to file #112

Closed hesa closed 2 years ago

hesa commented 2 years ago

The second command wipes out the text from the first. Using ">>" concatenates the text instead.

Oh well, that's just example code which probably will never be used anywhere (hopefully), but thanks for your attention to detail! :)

There’s also sponge (part of MoreUtils; blog post about it), but >> is probably enough in this case.

Great catch @hesa ! :+1:

Great catch @hesa ! 👍 @silverhook, you making fun of me? ;)

@hesa , not at all. It may be rookie mistake, but solutions to rookie mistakes are not rookie. And it could cause issues if someone simply copy-pasted from the example.
