I've looked around AskUbuntu, as well as just trying on the internet; but i can see no solution, every time i change my coding.



I run Ubuntu 18.04.1 (in case that matters)



and i want to have a simple script that will allow data to be added to a file, but if the file already exists, to allow it to continue from where it left off at the beginning.



so i want file to be created and the first piece of information put into it from a 3rd party source.



then i want now that the file already exists, i want it to add new information at the bottom of the existing text



for egg sample



  • the file does not exist

  • a file is created (called "mylog")

  • information is added to the first line of the file and a newline is
    created to move the cursor to the beginning of the next available
    line.

  • The file contains all the log information i needed by monitoring them
    for me

  • while i learn sleep patterns again.

Is this even possible on Ubuntu, Am I missing the obvious; the irony is that i can do it in DOS with my eyes closed.



Thanks in advance; please refer to similar questions if you think they will help, i personally was just not able too.



I've been trying to do it with gedit and a terminal to run it each time to test. If you can do it with bash, that would be great, if you think something better, that's perfectly acceptable, i Just use Bash because it's my favourite, but I'm not married to it.
