DOS (Windows):
TYPE
Displays the contents of a file on the screen. If you use this command on a file which is not a text file, the display will be unintelligible. Use with "|MORE" to display the text on a page by page basis, and prevent it scrolling off the screen. "|" is a pipe character.
LINUX:
cat
less
this are commands (programs) that let you view text files, less is like cat, but if the files are so long that they don't fit on your screen,less automatically paginates the file. You use less by giving the file name as an argument to it:
less filename.txt
You use cat in the same way by giving the file name as an argument to it:
cat filename.txt
