I like the look of filename, however, when you end up talking about other attributes of that file, which happens in programming a lot, for example, it is often much better to use file name instead.

Executing: $ echo "New Value" >filename.txt $ cat filename.txt New Value will erase everything inside the file and then write New Value to it. If the command has no output, like the command true, the file will remain empty (truncated).

2017年3月17日 · Just adding illustration of the (complicated) syntax needed to insert a chosen date string into the middle of a path/filename. As this is usable with any command, I show for copying a file to a new location with timestamped addition to the filename:

A period in filenames is often used as the standard separator between filename and extensions. A period at the start of a filename is used to indicate configuration and/or hidden files.
