You can create a text file using the cat command in the terminal of an Ubuntu Linux system as follows:
- Open the terminal.
- Type
cat > filename.txtand press Enter. This will open a new file with the name “filename.txt”. - Type the text you want to add to the file and press Enter after each line.
- Once you are done adding text, press
Ctrl + Dto save the file and exit.
Note: The > operator is used to redirect the output of the cat command to a file. If the file already exists, its contents will be overwritten. If you want to append text to an existing file instead of overwriting it, use the >> operator instead.
