I’m stuck again 😂!  
This time in the **Learn Advanced Bash by Building a Kitty Ipsum Translator** course, specifically in the task redirections.

The picture says it all.  
Anyone in the same skip?  
Regards,  
Gilberto

Are you still getting the same error? because your input is correct, and it should work. Can you make sure that the name.txt file has “freeCodeCamp”. Otherwise you can just reload the page, sometimes it acts this way. When I am sure that my input is correct, a reload would solve it.

Often hitting the reset button on the CodeRoad window resolves this issue.

I fixed it by inputing freeCodeCamp in all three files
