Needless to say you can increase the rate further ( -L 8000), and the command becomes very similar to cat, with the output appearing instantaneously.įor more information see man pv or the Ubuntu manpages online. The example below uses a high rate (300), but if you choose a low rate such as -L 50, it will appear as if the computer is typing out the file for you.
Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. The application is in the folder that opens. By default, they open with Apple’s TextEdit. In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. txt there is one and only one app on your Mac that will open the files automatically, such as when you double-click files. The following code uses the StreamReader class to open, to read, and to close the text file. I mentioned above that file types are associated with applications.

With pv you can literally print the file to the screen, and choose the rate ( -L) at which it appears. The Write a text file (example 1) and the Write a text file (example 2) sections describe how to use the StreamWriter class to write text to a file. Monitor the progress of data through a pipe.pv will copy each supplied FILE in turn to standard output (- means standard input), or if no FILEs are specified just standard input is copied.
It is in the repositories and so can be installed with sudo apt-get install pv if you don't have it already.Īs the man page notes, pv is very often used to

As we seem to be listing all available alternatives of displaying any text file in the terminal, it would be quite fun to introduce pv as technically one valid (but unusual) method, although I would normally use cat instead for most things.
