Before you can start creating scripts, it is important to know how
a console works under Linux.
To achieve this, we offer two complementary activities in the
online course Introduction to Linux commands.
You will find the activities in this guide without any additional
information. It is therefore recommended that you take the online
course to get all the necessary details.

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.
