If I do cat test1.txt I would get the contents of that file.
So now you can see I've got two files, test1 and test2. I'm going to up arrow to go back to this and I'm going to change the text here to this and I'm going to have it save this out to test2.txt. Now you can see it changed names right here on the desktop. So let's rename this test file using the Move command, mv. So what it actually can do is show us the results of several files, one after the other. I'll hit Return and it will show me the contents of that file.
If I type t and then hit tab it'll fill the rest in since there are no other files that begin with the letter t. Now I don't have to type it all out because there's only one file on the desktop. So I'll use cat space and I'll type the name. Now what if we wanted to view that in the Terminal. So there you can see it just contains that text. Let's double click it to open it up in TextEdit and see what we've got. So I'll hit Return and sure enough there's the text file. Now I'm actually at the desktop so you should see the file appear over here. But if we use the same command, I'm going to use the up arrow to repeat the command, and I'm going to use greater than> to send the result of this Echo function to a file. We're going to use the Echo command and then we'll put some text in single quotes. There's a lot of different commands that you should know.
