How to create a file in Linux from terminal window - xSicKx - 07-01-2018
Depending on what you want the file to contain:
- touch /path/to/file
- for an empty file
somecommand > /path/to/file - for a file containing the output of some command.
eg: grep --help > randomtext.txt echo "This is some text" > randomtext.txtnano /path/to/file - or
vi /path/to/file - or
any other editor emacs,gedit etcIt either opens the existing one for editing or creates & opens the empty file to enter, if it doesn't exist
