Using the <strong>cat<\/strong> command is very common when interacting with your server, so realizing what all you can do with it is valuable information to know.<\/p>\n<h2>What can I do with the cat command?<\/h2>\n<p>Below I&#8217;ll go over several different things you can do with the <strong>cat<\/strong> command in order to display data from your files.<\/p>\n<h3>cat filename<\/h3>\n<p>Using the <strong>cat<\/strong> command directly on one file will display the full contents of that file:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">cat \/home\/userna5\/access-logs\/example.com<\/p>\n<p>In this case we are looking at an Apache access log, so the output would look similar to this:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:45:32 -0500] &#8220;GET \/about-us HTTP\/1.1&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<br \/> 123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:45:49 -0500] &#8220;GET \/2013\/03\/07\/today-is-the-day HTTP\/1.1&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<br \/> 123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:45:59 -0500] &#8220;GET \/favicon.ico HTTP\/1.1&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<br \/> 123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:51:14 -0500] &#8220;GET \/wp-content\/images\/slider.png HTTP\/1.0&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>cat filename1 filename2<\/h3>\n<p>You can also use the <strong>cat<\/strong> command on two files in a row, in this example we&#8217;ve already navigated into our <strong>\/home\/userna5\/access-logs<\/strong> directory, and now we want to see the visits from two of our websites:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">cat example.com example2.com<\/p>\n<p>This would show us back to back the data from each file.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:45:32 -0500] &#8220;GET \/example.com\/test1 HTTP\/1.1&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<br \/> 123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:45:49 -0500] &#8220;GET \/example.com\/test2 HTTP\/1.1&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<br \/> 123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:02:45:59 -0500] &#8220;GET \/example2.com\/test1 HTTP\/1.1&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<br \/> 123.123.123.123 &#8211; &#8211; [07\/Mar\/2013:12:51:14 -0500] &#8220;GET \/example2.com\/test2 HTTP\/1.0&#8221; 200 76 &#8220;-&#8221; &#8220;Mozilla\/5.0&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>cat *<\/h3>\n<p>Another way you can run the <strong>cat<\/strong> command is with an <strong>*<\/strong> asterisk, this denotes any file.

For these examples I&#8217;ve created a simple file called <strong>newFile<\/strong> and it has the following contents when you just run <strong>cat newFile<\/strong> alone:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">cat newFile<\/p>\n<p>You get back:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">user001<br \/> user002<br \/> user003<br \/> user004<\/p>\n<p> user005<\/p>\n<p> user006<br \/> user007<\/p>\n<h3>cat -n<\/h3>\n<p>Using <strong>cat -n<\/strong> will allow us to see the line numbers of the file:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">cat -n newFile<\/p>\n<p>Here you can see we have 10 lines total:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">1 user001<br \/> 2 user002<br \/> 3 user003<br \/> 4 user004<br \/> 5<br \/> 6 user005<br \/> 7<br \/> 8<br \/> 9 user006<br \/> 10 user007<\/p>\n<h3>cat -b<\/h3>\n<p>Using <strong>cat -b<\/strong> will only count non-blank lines:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">cat -b newFile<\/p>\n<p>So you can see while we have 10 total lines, we only have 7 with data on them:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">1 user001<br \/> 2 user002<br \/> 3 user003<br \/> 4 user004<\/p>\n<p> 5 user005<\/p>\n<p> 6 user006<br \/> 7 user007<\/p>\n<h3>cat -s<\/h3>\n<p>Using <strong>cat -s<\/strong> will supress multiple blank lines to a maxium of one:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">cat -s newFile<\/p>\n<p>Here you can see the two blank lines after <strong>user005<\/strong> have been replaced with only one now.:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">user001<br \/> user002<br \/> user003<br \/> user004<\/p>\n<p> user005<\/p>\n<p> user006<br \/> user007<\/p>\n<h2>cat has a backwards cousin tac!<\/h2>\n<p>As a bonus there is also a less known command called <strong>tac<\/strong> which operates just like <strong>cat<\/strong> but as the letters suggest, in reverse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">tac newFile<\/p>\n<p>Will give you back:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">user007<br \/> user006<\/p>\n<p> user005<\/p>\n<p> user004<br \/> user003<br \/> user002<br \/> user001<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>tac<\/strong> command doesn&#8217;t have the additional options of <strong>cat<\/strong>, but it can come in very handy for certain tasks.<\/p>\n<p>A good example of when the <strong>tac<\/strong> command shines, is if you had an extremely large log file, and you were looking for some specific text in the log using a command like <strong>grep<\/strong>. Just using the <strong>grep<\/strong> command alone would start at the very beginning of that log file, possibly going through very old data that isn&#8217;t relevant to what you&#8217;re looking for. So if you instead used the <strong>tac<\/strong> command like in the following example this can help you save time:<\/p>\n<p class=\"cli\" style=\"width: 500px; white-space: nowrap;\">tac bigLogFile | grep Error<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve found enough data, you can hit <strong>Ctrl-C<\/strong> on your keyboard to stop the <strong>tac<\/strong> command from reading further up the specified file.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>You should now have a clear understanding of what you can accomplish with the Linux <strong>cat<\/strong> command, and how it might come in handy while managing your server.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article I&#8217;m going to review using the Linux cat command in order to view the contents of files on your server.
