import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"os"
)

func main() {

	// reader to read text or content from user.
	reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)

	fmt.Println("Enter the text:")

	// reading the text or content from user
	text, _ := reader.ReadString('\n')

	// writing the content to file with content and permission
	err := ioutil.WriteFile("my_file_name.txt", []byte(text), 0755)

	// error handling
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Unable to write content to file... %v", err)
	}
}
