In a beautiful pea-green boat.
Also say the file bird contained these lines:
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
After the preceding command, neither file would change, but a new file called DetailsAt11 would be created, containing all four lines:
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea
In a beautiful pea-green boat.
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note.
For more information on the cat command, see the cat manual.
