Painfully Stupid Read File Shell Script Q

I’m writing a shell script to log bandwidth.

I can write to a file just fine:
echo $tmbin > ‘/Users/me/Scripts/Shell Scripts/Network In:Out Monitor/totalIn.txt’

but I can’t read the same file! The following doesn’t work:
tmbinl < ‘/Users/me/Scripts/Shell Scripts/Network In:Out Monitor/totalIn.txt’

Yes, it’s incredibly stupid for me to spend hours on this, but I can’t figure it out!

Help!

:wink:

Blessings!!

cat ‘/Users/me/Scripts/Shell Scripts/Network In:Out Monitor/totalIn.txt’

Regards. Jürgen

Bless you, Jürgen!!
