-w: command not found? #20

I tried your example with my file and it hasn't worked. Could you tell me what am I doing wrong?

I add the following cat README.txt | -w 250

and get this in bash and zsh -w: command not found

You don't run the script itself. -w is just a parameter, you need to include ./speedread as well, as in the example.

I am sorry, I still don't get it. I am new to terminal. And I hoped I could use your program to practice reading faster while also learning about the Terminal. Could you give me the example of what I would write in terminal if I wanted to read a .txt file from my desktop?

I'm confused, what goes wrong if you just follow the first example in README, cat tea.txt | ./speedread -w 250?
