How to access files

krojther · 10-19-2009, 05:48 AM

I am trying to access the file that I can see under
home/user/.package/start.txt
what does this dot in front of package means?
How I can open start.txt? I try with cat and everything but to no avail!
Thanks!!

. before a directory of file, means it is hidden.
Or you give the full path to the file, or you cd into the directory first

Code:

cat /home/user/.package/start.txt
cat .package/start.txt
cd .package
cat filename
