As we can see, a new file has been created. You can also see the difference, visually — between a file and a directory. Nothing happens, because the file is blank. And a blank, strange looking editor appears! When you try to type anything in there, nothing happens. Vi uses special commands to be of use, since it is non-graphical. This is concatenated for append. A cursor will appear and you may start typing.
Touch is a good way to create a blank file, but it creates extra steps. We can create a file and open it for editing in one fell swoop with Vi.
This will create that file. If the filename you choose already exist, we will merely be opening that file to edit. Remember, we can do this without changing directories :. Instead of a directory name to move the copy to, make up a new file name. As we can see, a file named cookies has been created. You can also rename and move that new file into a directory by copying it into a directory like we did before, but following the directory name with a non-existent file name.
If the new file name already exists, it will overwrite it without warning. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account. You are commenting using your Twitter account. You are commenting using your Facebook account. Notify me of new comments via email.

I like this idea. And with little modifications, you could even implement a "cut" function too. Gilles Could you please explain why you replaced echo with printf? Meysam printf is portable and safe while echo is not. The Wooledge wiki mentions this briefly. To read more about aliases you can see man alias or linfo.
