How to write a sequence of numbers to a text file?

Question

Beginner coder here :)

Writing in bash. I'm trying to write the numbers -7.5 to 72.5 in increments of 5 into the first column of a text file.

I can use

seq -7.5 5 72.5

to make the sequence of numbers

How should I write that into a text file?

Thanks

@m0skit0, your command `echo "-7.5 5 72.5" > file` **does not** produce the desired results that Lily asked for! Please delete it. — user3439894, Mar 16 '15 at 21:31
@user3439894 No. It's a comment, and on-topic. If you do not agree with it, flag it. — m0skit0, Mar 16 '15 at 23:04
@m0skit0 Please explain how it is on topic when it **does not** produce the desired results that Lily asked for, nor does it add anything relevant to the question asked. — user3439894, Mar 16 '15 at 23:11

Just redirect it into your file:

seq -7.5 5 72.5 > my_file.txt

Where my_file.txt is the name and path to your file.
