What is the hash to a terminal command?

Question

I entered a Terminal command into TextEdit, but i don't know the hash to Terminal, so I can't change it. I tried changing it into .bash and .rtf, but they don't work. Help Plz???

When using TextEdit to write shell scripts or similar,

• make sure that TextEdit is in plan text (and not in rich text) mode (check the format menu)
• use #!/bin/bash as the first line
• run chmod +x /path/to/file once after saving it
• use /path/to/file (or, if it is in the current directory, ./file) to execute it
