how can you find the text file created by this command?

wget –qO – http://wtfismyip.com/text

You RTFM -- (read the fine manual). Type "man wget". The fine manual tells us that "-q" is quiet, "-O" is to concatenate all fetched objects, and "-" is to write the output to stdout, so as it turns out, there are no text files created by this command. Why do you think this command creates a text file?
