You should use an appropriate application to open it - try nano _b2rR6eU9jJ.txt
or cat _b2rR6eU9jJ.txt
. The former will edit, the latter will output it to standard output. (Note - you can replace nano with vi, emacs or other text editor of your preference)
From what I can tell
geek@ubuntu:~$ open --help
open: invalid option -- '-'
Usage: openvt [-c vtnumber] [-f] [-l] [-u] [-s] [-v] [-w] -- command_line
open refers to openvt - and the man page describes it as openvt - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).
You're trying to open a text file, so unless I'm missing something, it isn't the software for doing what you want to do.
Sounds like you're coming from a Mac, where
open
does the same as double-clicking would in the Desktop. – Roger Dueck – 2019-02-01T17:02:11.080That question can't be serious. – Johan Boulé – 2019-05-19T03:22:08.110
1What do you mean by opening it? Do you want to edit it? You can use nano, emacs or vi for that. – artistoex – 2012-09-21T07:39:36.440
