So I'm wanting to find out what the command line would look like to copy the text contained in a file, convert the whole thing to upper-case and paste that into a new file with a given name.



I'm very new to Linux so I've been running through a few lists of commands and existing questions but I couldn't find anything which answered this.



Thanks
