Development Tools Introduction to the Terminal Directories and Files Paths

I need help! Fill in the blank to complete the command to print the contents of the resume.txt file within the documents

Notice that you are not currently in the documents directory; you will need to include that as part of the path! treehouse:~/workspace$ ls documents games images treehouse:~/workspace$ ls documents profile.txt resume.txt treehouse:~/workspace$ cat

The answer will be the directory first and the file after "documents/resume.txt".

Hint: When constructing a path to a file in a sub-directory, you put the directory name first, then a slash ("/"), and finally the file name.

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler. :wink:

I think it's document/games. or try cd games

documents/resume.txt
