If you want to overwrite the existing file, you can tee it instead of redirecting stdout.

I actually tried using tee to solve this, but failed. :) If you have the time, can you please tell me how to solve this particular problem? I would love to learn, otherwise, I will read elsewhere. The man pages on tee did not contain any examples. Thank you for your suggestion!
