How to exit from cat command from terminal program.
Hi.
I use the command cat>binary.txt. Then I type in what I want in the file like this:
generic
But how do I exit after typing the information? I tried several keyboard keys but they are just written on the screen ( I think ascii ). Neither typing exit nor quit seem to respond. I just exit the terminal program but that is cumbersome if there are more commands to do.

Try pressing Ctrl+C
Thanks Sayak Banerjee, that solved my question.
Glad I could help!
That helped with exiting from the cat command, but the information I typed is not used in the project. If I exit from the terminal program right after entering the information, the information is used. I am not sure if it is problem with the project or with the terminal program itself.

Thank you but it did not really solve the problem. I did find that I must use Ctrl+D to save and exit what I type in. Ctrl+C just exits.
