How to create a file in Linux from terminal window? [closed]
Depending on what you want the file to contain:
touch /path/to/file
for an empty filesomecommand > /path/to/file
for a file containing the output of some command.eg: grep --help > randomtext.txt echo "This is some text" > randomtext.txt
nano /path/to/file
orvi /path/to/file
(orany other editor emacs,gedit etc
)
It either opens the existing one for editing or creates & opens the empty file to enter, if it doesn't exist
Create the file using cat
$ cat > myfile.txt

Hello World!
CTRL-D to save and exit
