|
- Redirect a file to `stdin` (achieves the same effect as `cat file.txt |`):
|
|
|
|
`{{command}} < {{path/to/file.txt}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create a here document and pass that into `stdin` (requires a multiline command):
|
|
|
|
`{{command}} << {{EOF}} <Enter> {{multiline_data}} <Enter> {{EOF}}`
|
|
|
|
- Create a here string and pass that into `stdin` (achieves the same effect as `echo string |`):
|
|
|
|
`{{command}} <<< {{string}}`
|
|
|
|
- Process data from a file and write the output to another file:
|
|
|
|
`{{command}} < {{path/to/file.txt}} > {{path/to/file2.txt}}`
|
|
|
|
- Write a here document into a file:
|
|
|
|
`cat << {{EOF}} > {{path/to/file.txt}} <Enter> {{multiline_data}} <Enter> {{EOF}}`
|
|
|
|
- Disregard leading tabs (good for scripts with indentation but does not work for spaces):
|
|
|
|
`cat <<- {{EOF}} > {{path/to/file.txt}} <Enter> {{multiline_data}} <Enter> {{EOF}}`
