joe: Open a specific file, positioning the cursor at the specified line.
$ joe +${line} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "joe +${line} ${filename}" is used to open a text editor called "joe" and position the cursor at a specific line number in a given file.

  • "${line}" represents the line number where you want the cursor to be placed.
  • "${filename}" represents the file you want to open.

By executing this command, the text editor "joe" will open the specified file and position the cursor at the line number indicated by "${line}". This allows you to directly edit the content at that specific line in the file.
