And probably very old but I just came across it. I'll take the risk of posting old news.
I got a bad rar file in s bittorrent download. So how do I fix just that without starting over? Create a new file but any of the obvious ways would contaminate it with at least one byte AND the file names is something like 50 characters long so I have to type it without error.
So first I us ls and tab completion to get the right file and hit return.
Then I up arrow to get that last command and backspace through it to the ls. I erase the ls and replace it with > the greater-than caret/arrow and I have a zero byte file.
