command line - Bash write to file without echo? -
as exercise, method exist redirect string file without echo? using
echo "hello world" > test.txt
i know cat
, printf
. thinking like
> test.txt <<<"hello world"
of course doesnt work, maybe similar command?
you can "cat" , here-document.
cat <<eof > test.txt text eof
one reason doing avoid possibility of password being visible in output of ps. however, in bash , modern shells, "echo" built-in command , won't show in ps output, using safe (ignoring issues storing passwords in files, of course):
echo "$password" > test.txt
