<h2>Output as input</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>To redirect a certain output of the command-line we have to use the symbol ">".<br>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In this case, we will use a file named "<i>hello.txt</i>", in which we want to insert
|
||
|
|
a certain output ("Sun" in this case):<br>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
echo "Sun" > hello.txt
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So if we print the content of the file in our command-line, the output will be the following:
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
cat hello.txt
|
||
|
|
Sun
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If we want to append a certain output to an existing file,
|
||
|
|
we just have to use ">>" symbols:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
cat hello.txt
|
||
|
|
Sun
|
||
|
|
echo "Moon" >> hello.txt
|
||
|
|
cat hello.txt
|
||
|
|
Sun
|
||
|
|
Moon
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Input as output</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To redirect an input from a file for a command, the symbol "<" is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
echo < $(cat hello.txt)
|
||
|
|
Sun
|
||
|
|
Moon
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is particularly useful when chaining commands.
