Reading multiple files
The cat
command is the go-to tool for looking at the contents of small files. If we send multiple files to the cat
command, it’ll read them all in the specified order. Let’s try it. We first create two files in our current directory:
$ echo "Hello" > hello.txt
$ echo "Goodbye" > goodbye.txt
Now, let’s use the cat
command to read both files:
$ cat hello.txt goodbye.txt
Run the commands on the terminal below.
