Create a file from the console

There are several ways of creating a plain old text file from the command prompt. We will use a few techniques here primarily for the exercise value!

Make sure you are in the directory called CLI. We are going to create a file with the lines (you need to get this exactly right!!):

Living easy, living free. 
Season ticket on a one-way ride. 
Asking nothing, leave me be. 
Taking everything in my stride.

To create a file called rubbish.txt we would type cat rubbish.txt

You will get a blank line; this is the cat command awaiting some input.

Type the lines of the sample file with a [return] at the end of each line and then to save the file, press <ctrl><d> when you are finished.
