in tcsh terminal i have the following line of code

however when i am trying to create a txt while, i am unable to do so
for some reason..this is the syntaxt i am using --

cat fileName.txt | frep "a" > a.txt


file then appears in the folder, however, it can no be opened because
"the file is not in the right format"..

does anybody know how to correct this problem?

thanks so much

This has sod all to do with Python, but I have to ask: *what* complains
that "the file is not in the right format"?  Also, I don't think you
meant "frep" that second time, but your typing is sufficiently awful
I can't be sure.
