How to input text into a new text file using nano from command line?I would like the same as with the following, but using nano:echo 'Hello, world.' >foo.txtResult:nano is not capable of handling non-interactive text input. echo is available in every Linux/Unix system, while nano is not installed by default in every Linux/Unix system. Echo can be also used in shell scripts, too.Conclusion:The most compatible solution is to use echo 'Hello, world.' >foo.txtas solution to create a file and fill with input text non-interactively.
How to input text into a new text file using nano from command line?
command line;text;input;nano
You can use a here document but with this way it is not possible to provide a special output document.$ cat | nano <<-EOFonetwothreeEOFReceived SIGHUP or SIGTERMBuffer written to nano.saveThis behaviour is mentioned in the man page under notesIn  some  cases nano will try to dump the buffer into an emergency  file.  This will happen mainly if nano receives a SIGHUP or SIGTERM or  runs out of memory.  It will write the buffer into a file         named nano.save if the buffer didn't have a name already, or will add a .save suffix to the current filename.  If an emergency  file with that name already exists in the  current  directory,  it         will add .save plus a number (e.g. .save.1) to the current filename in order to make it unique.  In multibuffer mode, nano will  write all the open buffers to their respective emergency files.So i think nano is not the best choice for non interactive texting. If you only want to input multi line text to a file you can also use a here document as well without nano.cat > foo.txt <<-EOF> one> two> three> > EOFcme@itp-nb-1-prod-01 ~ $ cat foo.txt onetwothreeMaybe this is what you need.
