‫The Cat Command is one of the most frequently used commands in Linux, Unix like operating systems.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:15,360
‫The Cat Command allows us to create single or multiple files, view the contents of a file, concatenate

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,740
‫files, as well as redirect output in terminal or files.

4
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:25,440
‫That's where the cat command comes from, right concatenate.

5
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:29,410
‫I didn't just trip over that word anyway.

6
00:00:30,250 --> 00:00:33,310
‫Generally, it's used to see the content of a text file.

7
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:35,210
‫I'll just show you how it works.

8
00:00:35,230 --> 00:00:41,380
‫All right, so follow along first list files and there are two different text files here.

9
00:00:42,620 --> 00:00:47,720
‫So let's check out the content of the my text file with the Cat Command.

10
00:00:49,170 --> 00:00:51,390
‫And these lines are written inside the text file.

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:59,570
‫So if we want to add a new word or statement to this file, we can use a double greater than symbol.

12
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:06,410
‫Well, that's right, the new line and quit with control and see.

13
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:11,580
‫So let's see the content of the file again.

14
00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:19,550
‫And as you can see, we've added one more line to the text file.

15
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:26,070
‫So what if we only use one greater than symbol?

16
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,790
‫So let's add in a new line again, run the Cat Command.

17
00:01:44,190 --> 00:01:49,980
‫Single greater than symbol over rights, the entire content with the new line, we just added.

18
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:52,410
‫That's powerful stuff.

19
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:00,000
‫So let's see the content of the my text file to this time.

20
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:12,650
‫So if we run a cat command with both my text file and my text file to will see the contents of both.
