Yes, we can use 'cat' command as an editor.
Ex: cat > names.txt
hai
hello
ctrl+c
Here, iam creating a file called 'names.txt'. If this file
already exists, the old contents of the file will be
overwritten; else new empty file is created and data is
placed in this file.
Also, we can append new content to existing file using cat
command.
Ex: cat >> names.txt
bye
crtl+c
