Question

Create a new file " " that is a concatenation of "filetxt" and "filetxt"?

1) cp filetxt
2) cat filetxt filetxt
3) mv file[12].txt
4) Cannot be fixed

Answer 1

The correct action to create a new file by concatenating 'filetxt' with itself is using the command 'cat filetxt filetxt > newfile'. The cat command displays the contents of filetxt twice and the '>' redirects this combination into a new file.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how to create a new file that is the result of concatenating (joining together) the contents of 'filetxt' with itself. To accomplish this task, you can use the cat (concatenate) command in a Unix or Linux environment. Specifically, you would use the command cat filetxt filetxt > newfile. This uses 'cat' to display the contents of 'filetxt' twice and then redirects the combined output to a new file named 'newfile'.

To clarify, the correct command from the provided options is number 2) cat filetxt filetxt, but you need to include the redirection operator and a new file name to complete the task. For example: cat filetxt filetxt > newfile.

None of the other options provided would achieve the desired result. The cp command is used to copy files and directories, mv is used to move or rename files and directories, and there is no information given to suggest that a repair (Cannot be fixed) is necessary.
