Entering Command Line commands
Dear All,
I need to issue a command, at the command prompt, NOT in X Windows, and from the book I am reading, I am instructed to: “For the sake of accuracy, it is recommended to use a copy-and-paste method when issuing the following command.” I was not aware that one could copy-and-paste commands. If anyone can advise me on this I would be very grateful. Regards, john |
If you have a command in a file, or whatever, you can copy the command, and paste it in the terminal
|
To do that,
- highligt the text you want to copy with the mouse, - then, still with the mouse, put the cursor at the place you want to paste this text - press the middle button (the wheel) of the mouse. You don't need Ctrl+c then Ctrl+v as in Windows. |

`cat textfile.txt` Including quotes (they're the ones facing top left to bottom right) |
