| Info: | ll is an alias for ls -laF often available by default on many Linux distributions. |
| Info: | ls -d can be used to list only directory names when using glob patterns. |
Quiz
Can you copy directory with
cp <old_dir> <new_dir>?
| Warning: | rm -f: no confirmation! Use with care. (page 5) |
What would be a suitable wildcard for listing the files
test_01 test_02 test_03 and prod_02 but NOT test_04 and debug_02
| Warning: | The shell expands wildcards before they are passed as arguments! In some cases (when using find with a wildcard, for example), you should enclose the wildcard in quotes: find . -type f -name "*test*" (page 8) |
Exercises in Terminal
1. Use the find command to search for files, whose name ends with dat, in your home directory.
| Answer: |
The complete command is
|
2. Use the find command to search for directories, whose name begins with test and ends with _dir, in your home directory.
| Answer: |
The complete command is find $HOME -type d -name "test*_dir"
find can be used to search files and directories.
$HOME is your home directory.
-type d means only directory (not file) will be shown.
-name "test*_dir" specifies the required directory name, which begins with test and ends with _dir. The wild card * matches any characters in between.
