The OS is Ubuntu. I want to create file.txt
in /home/z/Desktop
where the content of the file is some text here
.
The first and usual way is run nano /home/z/Desktop/file.txt
and type some text here
. after that, press ctrl+x
, pressy
followed by Enter
.
The second way is run cat > /home/z/Desktop/file.txt
, type some text here
and press Enter
followed by ctrl+c
I hope I can run single line of command to make it faster. I thought xdotool
will work with the cat
(the second way), but no, it not works
You can use "echo"
in bash. e.g.:
echo "some text here" > file.txt
If you don't want a new line character at the end of the file, use the -n
argument:
echo -n "some text here" > file.txt
