ACTIVITY B
CREATION OF A FILE THAT
CONTAIN TEXT

In cyber security, it is important to know how to insert text into a file. This task may
seem simple, but it is a little less so in console mode. With this knowledge in mind,
you will be able to use this practice to eventually create log files that are very
important in cyber security.

Instructions

Using the echo command and the > and >> symbols, insert the
text for each statement into a file. Check the result with the cat
command

Example

The Command echo to insert text

Additional Information

When you use the > symbol the text will be added to the first line
of the file. If there is already text in the file, the text will be
deleted and replaced by the desired text.

When you use the >> symbol the text will be


added to the next line and the previous text will be
saved.
