Which command sends the word count of the file infile to the newfile_______________?

Correct answer: A. wc infile >newfile

  • A. wc infile >newfile
  • B. wc newfile
  • C. wc infile - newfile
  • D. wc infile | newfileHire Civil Engineers

Explanation

`wc infile > newfile` counts the contents of `infile`, while `>` redirects that output into `newfile`. A pipe requires another command to consume the output, so the malformed option d cannot perform this task.
