Hey, does anybody know is there a way to remove a file while read? Something like: rm file.txt -o - | cat - ?
minus-square@space_cowboy@lemmy.mllinkfedilink1•3 years agowhy not just read the file, then remove it: cat file.txt && rm file.txt Not that I understand why you would want to do this anyway; it kind of doesn’t make any sense.
