Read Text File on Linux

1

written by bakoppan

I am new to creating analysis and was interested reading a text file on a linux box. I’ve seen some postings for reading files on a windows server, but haven’t located anything for linux. Is this possible? I would like the entire contents of the file to be read on the console. It only contains a few lines.

Depends on exactly what you are trying to do but the relevance should be the same or similar to windows.

For example to return the lines of a Linux file /tmp/myfile the relevance you put the analysis is:

lines of file “/tmp/myfile”

You can even go a step further and do the following:

lines of files “myfile.txt” of (folders “temp” of it;folders “tmp” of it) of root folder of drive of system folder

This relevance will read the lines of “C:\temp\myfile.txt” on windows and “/tmp/myfile.txt” on linux/unix/osx, making it cross platform.

You could also do it this way:

lines of files “myfile.txt” of (folders “temp” of windows folder;folders “tmp” of root folder of drive of system folder)
