Write Text into a file and override any existing content

DerMeldos

To write the text into a file and overwrite any existing content in the file, use the "cat" command with a "EOF" marker. This approach ensures all lines are written exactly as you have provided. Here’s the command:

cat << 'EOF' > /path/to/your/file
This is my testfile!
#looks like a test
EOF

Replace "/path/to/your/file" with the actual path of the file where you want to write this content.

Explanation:

"cat << 'EOF' > /path/to/your/file"opens a Here Document to input the text.
Text within the "EOF" block is written verbatim to the specified file.
Any "$" symbols are escaped with "" to prevent variable expansion.
