@EliahKagan slip of the pen, I was referring to echo > file and > file. You're quite right, touch file wouldn't empty it.

@terdon: I reviewed the code and, yes, you have reason. Only that I'm confused because the OP uses tee.

@Helio there is no reason to use touch file or echo > file or > file or anything. These will empty the file if it exists (well, not touch, the other two) but are not needed to create it. There is absolutely no need to create a file before using it on Linux. If you attempt to write (using any method) to a non-existent file, that file will be created. The main point I was making in the "General" section is that downvotes happen, they can happen for any reason at all. Don't take them so seriously.

| Apr 18, 2015 at 18:29 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | @Helio for in-line comments, I would put them above the code with no line between comment and code. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | 0x2b3bfa0 | @JacobVlijm: Thanks. Do I need to put newlines to isolate command-comment groups? | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 18:24 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | @Helio in-line comments are nicer to read directly above the code it refers to, with the same indent. | |

From The particular section, I think that touch file does the same that echo > file and does not use >, please correct me if I'm wrong. About the second suggestion, yes, I'll fix it. About the third, please, can you say me how to put the comments?
