Question: 1 / 400

How do you edit a file in the nano text editor?

nano [filename]

To edit a file in the nano text editor, you would use the command 'nano [filename]'. This command directly invokes the nano text editor and opens the specified file for editing. If the file does not already exist, nano will create a new file with that name when you save your changes.

The other options do not represent the correct method for opening a file in nano. Using 'edit [filename]' is not a recognized command in typical Linux environments for any text editor, including nano. The command 'vim [filename]' refers to a different text editor, Vim, which has its own command structure and keyboard shortcuts. Lastly, 'write [filename]' is also not a command associated with nano or any typical file editing in Linux; rather, writing changes in nano is usually done using a keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl + O to save the file). Therefore, the appropriate and direct way to edit a file in nano is indeed by using the command 'nano [filename]'.
