Creating command line/bash script and saving information in files
I have not done any shell scripting before but I am looking to make an a little script to solve some things that I can't seem to achieve. Basically what I am looking to do is something like git:

In a folder create a file that will store a list of the file ids and information for that file that the user can enter.

So basically the file would be like:

    id            info
    ----          ---------
    123           File number 1
    13453         Another awesome file.


That's mainly what I want to do. I am just looking for advice if I should use a database or a file and then loop through the file each time the user wants the information? I am planning to either script it in bash or C. But open to any suggestions. Thanks a lot.
