Creating a file in linux shell

We can create a file in Linux in many ways.

 
cat > myfile.txt : This command will accept the data from standard input and
 put it in “myfile.txt”. 
# Note that you will have to press the ctrl+c hot key to mark the end of input.
touch “myfile” : This command will create file if it does not exist.
printf “This will go in file ” > “myfile”
echo “This will go in file ” > “myfile”
#You can create a file using output redirection operator ( > ). 
#Output of any command is sent to new file.
