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.
