00:00Computer Science videos here today to show you guys in this tutorial how to
00:05view the contents of a text file from a USB in terminal using a Mac computer
00:12without further ado let us start the video. So in this tutorial you need to
00:17have access to a Mac computer, a USB flash drive that contains the text file
00:22that we will be working within and we need to know how to use the command
00:27prompt so we can start this tutorial. Let's now go all the way on to the dock
00:31before we do that let's just insert the USB flash drive into the Mac computer
00:35itself. For those asking the flash drive can have a capacity of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 all
00:43the way to maybe a terabyte or whatever they have today. For this tutorial we are
00:50working with a very small file so we are not worried about the capacity of the
00:56USB. So the USB has now been connected into the Mac computer let's just open up
01:04the Kingston USB. Work.txt is the file that we will be working within so we
01:10can now go all the way on to the dock, go to finder, minimize finder for the moment, go to
01:16launchpad, search for the application the command prompt terminal. Let's just
01:21increase the size of the terminal window, command plus a couple of times to increase the text on
01:27screen and so clear all the contents, cd desktop, semicolon ls. Let's now navigate to cd
01:39volumes, ls-l we are interested in Kingston, semicolon ls-l let's just now
02:06bring work.txt onto the screen. So the command is cat cat w tab enter and there
02:25we go all the content within the file work.txt is now viewable on screen so we
02:33can now clear everything on screen, change directory, clear again, quit
02:45terminal, go all the way on to the dock, go back to finder, quit finder, go to the
02:53USB flash drive, command E to eject, remove the flash drive from the computer
02:59and so that's it for this video. I'll see you guys in the next tutorial. Thanks for now.
