`sudo echo blah > /etc/file.txt` doesn’t work

that is because the shell is interpreting redirect first.
with my guideline to put the redirect first in the command it becomes more obvious.

try

sudo “echo bla >/etc/file.txt”

or

sudo sh -c “echo bla >/etc/file.txt”

@Gargron thx , done

@matthew_d_green typical std library implementation. the ugly names are needed to avoid clashes with user macros.

@fediversereport @gov
would be nice if they would have language specific accounts to follow. otherwise reading every message 4 times in your timeline is annoying
