Kali Linux Redirection

                                                                 Redirect

In Linux, you must understand that we use a lot of redirection in the terminal window. 

      

For example, to save the output of the ls command into a file, I can redirect the output from the terminal window to a text file using the > (greater than) character:

      

kali@kali:~$ ls > ls_file.txt

      kali@kali:~$ cat ls_file.txt 
      Desktop
      Documents
      Downloadsls_file.txt
      Music
      Pictures
      Public
      Templates
      Videos


Now, you can do the opposite by redirecting (printing) the text file contents into the terminal window using the < (less than) character:
kali@kali:~$ cat < ls_file.txt 
Desktop
Documents
Downloadsls_file.txt
