Bug?? #+begin_src sh :file

Hi,

The following ECL is based on Grant Rettke's Org Scraps - 
https://eschulte.github.io/org-scraps/scraps/2011-02-15-recutils.html

#+begin_src sh :file this.txt

cat << EOF > this.txt

1
2
3

EOF

#+end_src

When I execute the code block the file "this.txt" is created and so is a 
link, i.e.

#+RESULTS:
_file:this.txt

_However, the file is empty. According to the documentation for :file I 
expected the following in "this.txt"

1
2
3

I tried :exports results but this.txt is still empty

A bug? Or what am I missing?

I get the expected result without the redirection:

#+begin_src sh :file this.txt
cat << EOF
1
2
3
EOF
#+end_src

You are creating a file that Org is supposed to fill with the output
from your script.  Your script doesn't produce output, but instead
writes to the same file.  When the script returns, Org dutifully
truncates the file to nothing.

Thanks to Thierry and Achim for the correction and explanation and to  
Grant for the link.
