使用“ cat> text.txt”写入文本文件时，如何退格？

Question

Is there a way to use backspace when typing in to a text file through terminal using this command:

cat > text.txt

Or is there a better command to use other than cat to type into a txt file?

Answer 1

echo "Whatever text incl.  special chars" > text file.txt 

From comment you posted below your question you mention:

is there a way i can get the terminal window to act like a basic text editor?

If that's what you want why not use vim/nano/emacs? There are plenty console text editors with surprising amount of advanced functionality in many cases ( quite often more than GUI editors )

Answer 2

If the backspace key not working you could give a try to

Ctrl + H

or

Ctrl + Backspace

but depends mainly on your terminal.
