Burdette LamarHere are some ways I can create a text file from the Linux command line.
cat
Command cat with no source file specified reads from stdin. So I can type this (ending with Ctrl-D):
$ cat > t.txt
Foo
Bar
Baz
echo
Command echo has option -e, which enables interpretation of backslash escapes. So I can type this:
$ echo -e "Foo\nBar\nBaz\n" > t.txt
touch
And finally, if I don't need content in the file, I can just type:
touch t.txt
