Write to file, but overwrite it if it exists

Question

echo \"text\" >> \'Users/Name/Desktop/TheAccount.txt\'

How do I make it so it creates the file if it doesn\'t exist, but overwrites it if it

Answer 1

To overwrite one file's content to another file. use cat eg.

echo  "this is foo" > foobar.txt
cat foobar.txt

echo "this is bar" > bar.txt
cat bar.txt

Now to overwrite foobar we can use a cat command as below

cat bar.txt >> foobar.txt
cat foobar.txt
