Redirect output to a file in linux

Its’ been kind of a while since I blogged on Linux.Sometimes we might require the outputs generated by a command to be stored in a text file for future use..This entry is all about dealing that.

There are essentially two different ways of doing it,depending on your requirement

1. commandname > filename

sample: ls > output.txt

The file is created in the current working directory.Upon usage of ‘>’,the previous contents are erased,and the new contents are written.

2. Sometimes you’ll need the contents to be preserved,In such a case use ‘>>’

eg: ls >> anerudh.txt

In this case,the file is updated,and your previous contents are unaltered.

A Real Prediction

My MY!

Dunno why so many posts on Madrid,but they seem to me like a topic with much more scope than Blondes.Probably humour sites will open up a new section for Madrid Jokes..Here is the scene for January 2010.

Scene in Madrid’s HQ :

Present : Perez,Ribery,Ronaldo(on crutches),Kaka,Higuain,Raul and other Madrid players

Perez:Ribery,you have been a disaster.All you were required to do was to serve clean water to Ronaldo ,Kaka and co.Look what you ‘ve done.Now Ronaldo is injured coz of you assole.I got a call from Aboomoslem Khorasan,a club in Iran.Half the Dutch contigent is there.Their wives will be the only ones showing their faces.Rest will be covered.

Ribery : Allright,get me out in May

Perez : Hone your water boy skills too.

Higuain becomes restless,since the world cup is approaching.He is giving serious thoughts about banging Maradonna’s daughter for a shot in the worldcup finals,when..

Perez : kaka,you clean the bench for a change,Higuain you ‘ve been good ,you are promoted.Now you shall start.Cristiano Ronaldo am sorry.All ribery’s fault.Guess you’ll have to wait for your chance.

Ronaldo : I can wink.Is that enough to play in the game??

Conversation ends.

In the meanwhile….All through the season,Hull city’sBenjani had been netting in goals.And surprise surprise..

January 14th 2010 ,

Real madrid bid 20 million pounds for Benjani.Hull,are all the more happy since they have never seen 20 million together in a suitcase.Perez sends a dog + 20 million for Benjani.A great deal claims the SPANISH PRESS.Poor madrid doesn’ spare even HULL!

January 20th 2010,

And its Higuain!!!!!HE Scoooooooooooooooooooooooooores…Agueros’ wife………………………………………..

He recieves the call for the argentian national team

The “Real” Deal..Times of Recession

Where Rea-ly does Madrid go after all these inquisitions?Kaka,Ronaldo,Raul Albiol and the French Hitman Karim Benzema.Houseful seems to be the board outside the training grounds,but Perez claims Two more vacancies.Apparently disappointed that Valencia removed David Villa from the market , they had to ’settle’ for benzema.I sound like a casualty of choice of words.”Settling” for Benzema?Perez!!!Money in the sac,in the hole,and god knows where,Real Madrid have literally been pooping Euros and Pounds. A sample Bidding war :

AC Milan : 15 Million that will be that.

manchester united : 20 million

Arsenal : I want to buy benzema,but……..Adebayor should stay.(clearly popper)

Liverpool : We will buy only Spanish people,even for washing toilets.

Along comes Mr.Perez ,

Fuck you lot,35 million pounds and I take Benzema.

Ferguson resorted to M.Owen after the assault,Ac Milan yet to recover,Arsenal seems to have convinced Adebayor and Liverpool have added two CeltaVigo staff to their yard.True to their words.

The Dutch contigent seems to be bustling with energy about the latest acquisitions.If rumours are to be believed,Van Nistelrooy is planning to start a bar outside Real Madrid,with Drenthe being the Incharge.Snejider will mostly start learning to play golf(early age) and Van der waart will probably be keeping boots for the players.Huntelaar plans to open an old-age home.Really honourable

And the shocking news is Real Madrid want to spend 50 million for a water boy by the name ‘Franck Ribery”.He is so desperate impress Madrid,that he skipped training for bayern just to watch Ronaldo on the news channel.Oh yes,wearing a pink cap !And not to forget Xabi Alonso is part of the ambitious bench cleaning project. Just for the record,we are in recession.Real Madrid players surely have the knack of  adapting!

Perez definitely knows to get the best out of his players….

Recession times !
