Tue 10/30/2001 - interview at IBM
How do I do this? On the prompt I tried "date >> output.txt" followed by
"echo ' - interview at IBM' >> output.txt" but the result was
Tue 10/30/2001
- interview at IBM
I also tried "date | sed '/\n/d' >> output.txt" followed by "echo
' -interview at IBM' >> output.txt". Still no dice.
How do I get rid of that newline?

The "date" command can be used like the "echo" command to
print arbitrary strings. Some special format specification characters
(%d, %m, ...) can be used to print parts of the date in the desired
format.
Example:
date "+%a %m/%d/%Y - interview at IBM"
prints
Sun 11/04/2001 - interview at IBM
A list of all format specifiers is documented in the strftime(3)
manual page.
