i have a file called test which contains the word “hello” in it.
shouldn’t
echo test | cat
output hello? since its taking the output from the echo test, which is test, as the input for cat. so essentially im doing cat test.
but the actual output is test, im really confused.

which will output the contents of the file named “test”.
