That command looked strange to my eyes.  I never thought about it before,
but after looking at your command line and trying a few myself, it turns out
that the placement of the io shell redirection characters (< and >) in
bash don't really matter.  

I had to try it to convince myself of it, but these command lines:

  1. [user@host ~]$ <temp.txt cat >foo.txt
  2. [user@host ~]$ <temp.txt >foo.txt cat
  3. [user@host ~]$ cat <temp.txt >foo.txt
  4. [user@host ~]$ cat >foo.txt <temp.txt
  5. [user@host ~]$ >foo.txt cat <temp.txt
  6. [user@host ~]$ >foo.txt <temp.txt cat

all seem to work exactly the same.  Untill now, the only forms I've
encountered were 3 and 4.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Kyle
