editing files in unix

[suresh pandey]

we know that through absolute pathname we can see the content of files of other directory working in the present directory but can we edit it while working in the present directory.
what is difference in working while working in ubuntu and red hat linux

[rski]

sure you can.

There is no difference between the flavors.... *nix is *nix.

When you edit it, you simply use the same full (absolute) path that you would when you view the directory contents:

vi /path/to/file.txt

Hope that helps.

Jeff
