Question

You have just used a command that produced some interesting output on the screen. You would like to save that information into a file named "interesting.txt", which does not currently exist. You can do this by issuing the same command, but appending which of the following?
A. > interesting.txt
B.
C. interesting.txt
D. | interesting.txt

Answer 1

Answer: A. > interesting.txt

Explanation: From the command line, one can perform numerous tasks from navigating into a directory, creating a new directory, deleting files, create files, modify files and so on using simple commands. In the scenario above, after using a common which is used to produce an output on the screen, such as the 'echo' command, one may wish to save the file giving the user the ability to access the file later. Since it is stated the file name 'interesting.txt' given to the file does not currently exist, appending the sign > saves the file. If the filename already exists, it will overwrite the existing content.
