[SOLVED] Creating a file using Pico under a different directory

Issue

If I am trying to create a file name "Data01" using the Pico editor with the contents of "Data File Number 01" on one line.

However my current directory is csc209/asgn06

I need to create these files in csc209/asgn06/test01 without changing directories in one command. Is there a way to do this?

Solution

Just prefix the filename with a relative path. If the directory exists:

pico test01/Data01

Otherwise, first create it with:

mkdir test01

then proceed as above.
