I am trying to create a bash file which will modify some files but I have a problem with one command. When I use sudo echo "$HTTP["url"]" >> file.conf I get error permission denied. What I actually want is the file to have $HTTP["url"] inside, the $HTTP is not a variable in bash its just text.

    To make it plain text use `'$HTTP["url"]'`, but I don't know what causes permission denied. – a5hk Jun 01 '14 at 09:57

If you put it inside of single quotes, it should work

echo '$HTTP["url"]'
