Day-2: Linux Text manipulation

write something on a text file using echo directly:

$ echo hello world > my_File.txt

you can copy a text file from another file using echo command:

$ echo < my_file.txt > > my_File2.txt

: environment variable by echo:

$ echo $VARIABLE
$ echo $USER
$ echo $HOME
$ env 
$ echo $PATH
$ VARIABLE_NAME = variable_value
$ unset                           [remove a variable]
$ export Variable = value         [set value of an environment variable]

cut something from text cut command:

$ cut -c 5-10 fileName.txt    [5-10 word index number mention]

using paste command to concatenate text file:

$ paste -s fileName.txt
$ paste -d ' ' -s fileName.txt [for space indentation]

to show any log file or file from head or sorting use head command:

$ head /var/logs/keybagd.log.0   [you see only the head part of the log file]
$ head -n 10 /var/logs/keybagd.log.0    [you can see exact 10th number of line just sorting by using -n]

to show any log file or file from tail or sorting use tail command:

$ tail /var/logs/keybagd.log.0   [you see only the tail part of the log file]
$ tail -n 10 /var/logs/keybagd.log.0    [you can see exact 10th number of line just sorting by using -n]
$ tail -f /var/logs/keybagd.log.0

make two file join by join command:

$ vim file1.txt
$ vim file2.txt
$ join file1.txt file2.txt

sorting some text file by using sort:

$ sort fileName.txt
$ sort -r fileName.txt   [ reverse sorting ]

upercase to lower case by using tr command :

$ tr A-Z a-z

sorting by using uniq command for unique word:

$ uniq fileNAme.txt

word and line count from a log or text file by using wc and nl command :

$ wc fileName.txt or PATH 
$ nl fileName.txt or PATH

to sort anything in any file or directory we use grep command:

$ grep fox sampole.txt   [grep find fox from this file]
$ grep -i FOX sample.txt   [ this -i is getting for case insensitive result]
$ env | grep -i Users         [you can use grep with pipe(|) for more sorting] [you get only User info]

here is all command and shortcuts for text editor vim:

go and write file with vim editor:

$ vi fileName.extention
$ vim fileName.extention

to write file in vim do insert mode by uing i in the keyboard:

$ press i button

if you search something unique just use / :

$ /searchWordName
$ go up to down press n
$ down to up press N

vim short cuts :

$ o -- for insert text on the next lien 
$ a -- for append text after the cursor 
$ A -- for append text at the end oif the line
$ x -- for cut the selected text also for deleting characters 
$ dd - for delete the current line 
$ y -- copy whatever is selected 
$ yy - copy the current line 
$ p -- paste the copied text before the cursor
$ :w - write and save file
$ :wq - write save and quite from vim
$ :q -- quite from vim
$ :q! - quite out from vim without saving
$ u -- undo your last action
$ ZZ - for :wq but more faster
$ Ctrl+r - redo your last action
