Huh does that actually work? Don’t have a system handy to try it out.

I think so! I think it’s something like < file works anywhere in the line, not just the end. There may be some specifics about no space when it is the front but I don’t remember lol.

cat pipeing is safer though.

foobar > file and your file is gone.

You can always alias > to < in your shell.
