hello,
I want to start writing my own c programs, but i can’t find any command
line text editor to create *.c files to compile them with gcc. I don’t
want to use IDE. can i create *.c files somehow in command line?

Best is to use editor, ped can be use or even better vi 
Or if you want to stick to command line only
echo “int main(void)” >>file.c
echo “{” >>file.c
…
ought to do it.

vi is the usual choice.

is still pure command line, and a bit easier than repeated
echo statements.
Of course…
cat | qcc -o program
is the real-programmer way to write C code.

I would put in a word for jed. It can be downloaded from QNX, has syntax
coloring, and has either emacs or vi key binding

jed’s great, jove and MicroEMACS should be trivial ports if they’re not
already done. I’m not sure if anyone’s ported the heavy-duty GNU EMACS
or XEMACS…
There are also things like pico, vim (vi’s already been suggested; vim
is vi with syntax colouring and other handy things), etc.

Using the QNX software installer, you can select the QNX Online repository,
then select jed.

I like this. But it’s a real bitch when you have that one type-o
on line 3762 !

All of the above are free from the 3rd party repository.
As someone just said, load up the QNX installer and connect to
the www repository.

Grab the source, “./configure && make” and hope for the best!

I was wondering the same thing!
I wonder why would any one use command line to type a file instead of
using, say, vi? I suppose that if the system is severely limited in
resources then…
