Hi
View/Edit a file in unix is quite easy indeed.You may like the following to use
1 cat <file_name>
2 cat><filename>
3 vi <filename>
Note that 1st option is to VIEW file only.You will not be able to write in this mode.
2nd and 3rd options make you enable to edit a file.
Be cautious when you edit a file using 3rd option as it may need a bit more knowledge about VI editor prior to use.
But there is no harm in using the 2nd option mentioned above
thanks .
Suggesting redirecting output from the cat utility to edit a file is an EXTREMELY dangerous suggestion for a new user. The first thing that the command:
does is delete everything in the file named filename. The user then has to retype the exact original contents of every line in the original file except for the changes to be made to the single line that you want to change.
