1
00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:03,400
You've learned all the basics of
working with a shell in the terminal.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,970
Let's end the course by looking at
some of the other things you can do.

3
00:00:06,970 --> 00:00:09,270
We have a lot of ground to
cover in this video, so

4
00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:12,215
we're only going to have a high
level description of each command.

5
00:00:12,215 --> 00:00:15,230
There'll be more info in
the teacher's notes if you want it.

6
00:00:16,270 --> 00:00:21,400
First up some additional commands that
come standard on most UNIX-like systems.

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,730
The find command is used to recursively
search through a directory and

8
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:27,520
all its subdirectories for files.

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,650
The find command by itself just searches
recursively through the current directory

10
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:34,990
and prints out the name of every file and
subdirectory it can find.

11
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:38,680
If you want to find files
with particular names,

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,160
you can use the dash name option to find.

13
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,900
The name parameter accepts wildcards.

14
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:46,410
So this command, for example,

15
00:00:46,410 --> 00:00:51,420
will find every .txt file in the current
directory and its subdirectories.

16
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:54,490
Note that a wildcard expression
has to be surrounded by quotes or

17
00:00:54,490 --> 00:00:57,900
the shell will attempt to expand it,
and it'll never reach the find command.

18
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,310
The grep command is used to print lines in
a file that match a particular pattern.

19
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:07,740
Let's go back to the directory that
contains our terminal.txt script.

20
00:01:08,740 --> 00:01:12,860
And I'm gonna find all lines in the
terminal.txt file that contain the word

21
00:01:12,860 --> 00:01:14,320
Windows.

22
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:15,611
So I run the grep command and

23
00:01:15,611 --> 00:01:19,333
as the first argument that I pass Windows
is the pattern that I'm looking for.

24
00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:23,800
Then I give it the name of the file that
I want to look through is the second

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,549
argument.

26
00:01:24,549 --> 00:01:25,696
And that will find and

27
00:01:25,696 --> 00:01:29,790
print every line that contains the word
Windows in the terminal.txt file.

28
00:01:30,890 --> 00:01:33,498
Now let's do the same looking for
the world Mac.

29
00:01:33,498 --> 00:01:39,110
grep 'Mac' terminal.txt.

30
00:01:39,110 --> 00:01:41,360
And there are all the lines
that contain the word Mac.

31
00:01:42,590 --> 00:01:45,710
Now for a couple programs that will
let you edit txt files from within

32
00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:46,830
your terminal.

33
00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:50,310
The vi program,
where vi stands for visual,

34
00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:55,200
is the default editing program installed
on most Unix-like operating systems.

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,250
It's not fancy but it is widely available.

36
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:00,740
At some point you're likely
to find you have to use it

37
00:02:00,740 --> 00:02:04,720
because it's the only editor available
on the system you're working on.

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,780
Some developers love it though and
use it for their daily work.

39
00:02:07,780 --> 00:02:12,270
Especially an expanded version called vim,
which stands for vi improved.

40
00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:16,237
Vim has to be installed separately,
though, so we'll focus on vi here.

41
00:02:16,237 --> 00:02:23,739
Let me use vi to edit a new file,
which I'll call myfile.txt.

42
00:02:23,739 --> 00:02:25,850
Vi has two important modes.

43
00:02:25,850 --> 00:02:28,345
When it starts, it's in command mode.

44
00:02:28,345 --> 00:02:31,854
You don't wanna press random keys while
you're in command mode because you'll be

45
00:02:31,854 --> 00:02:34,495
issuing commands you
probably don't want to.

46
00:02:34,495 --> 00:02:39,090
You'll wanna press the i key
which puts vi into insert mode.

47
00:02:39,090 --> 00:02:41,650
Now that I'm in insert mode,
I can type freely, and

48
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:44,850
the text will appear on
the screen like I'm used to.

49
00:02:44,850 --> 00:02:48,960
To get back into command mode, I press the
Escape key in the corner of my keyboard.

50
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:53,780
Once I'm back in command mode,
I can issue commands to save the file and

51
00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:55,090
quit the editor.

52
00:02:55,090 --> 00:02:58,840
I type a colon character and the cursor
will appear in the lower right corner of

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,270
the screen, waiting for a command.

54
00:03:01,270 --> 00:03:03,770
Then I type w and press enter.

55
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:06,897
Vi will write the contents of
the editor out to the file.

56
00:03:06,897 --> 00:03:09,432
Now to quit the editor,
I type colon again and

57
00:03:09,432 --> 00:03:12,330
the cursor reappears in the lower right.

58
00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:16,330
Now I type q and press enter and
vi will quit, returning us to the shell.

59
00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:22,090
We can take a look at the contents
of our new file with cat myfile.txt.

60
00:03:22,090 --> 00:03:25,020
And you can see the text I typed
has been written out to the file.

61
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:30,300
VI can be a powerful editor, but
it's not very friendly to beginners.

62
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:33,300
Now let's look at an alternative editor.

63
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:39,150
The nano editor is installed by default
on some, but not all, Unix-like systems.

64
00:03:39,150 --> 00:03:42,300
If you have administrative
privileges on a Unix-like system,

65
00:03:42,300 --> 00:03:43,750
you can install it yourself.

66
00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:46,360
See the teacher's notes for more info.

67
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,590
But it's already available on
the Linux OS used by workspaces.

68
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:52,980
The command is similar to the vi command.

69
00:03:52,980 --> 00:03:55,890
You just type nano and
the name of the file you want to edit..

70
00:03:55,890 --> 00:03:59,890
So I'll edit nano file2.txt.

71
00:03:59,890 --> 00:04:03,590
Editing in nano is pretty straightforward,
you just type.

72
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:06,310
You can use the commands at the bottom
of the screen when you're ready to

73
00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:07,780
save and exit.

74
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:11,660
The caret symbol before each
one stands for the Ctrl key.

75
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:14,810
So to write out your file,
you would press Ctrl+O.

76
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:17,355
To exit Nano, you'd press Ctrl+X.

77
00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:22,110
So let me press Ctrl+O
to write out the file.

78
00:04:22,110 --> 00:04:23,780
It'll ask me what file name to write to.

79
00:04:23,780 --> 00:04:26,820
I'll just keep the one I entered on
the command line as the default.

80
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:27,630
So I'll press Enter.

81
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,446
And then I can hold down Ctrl and
press X to exit.

82
00:04:33,229 --> 00:04:37,533
Again, if I run the cat command on the
file that I specified for nano to edit,

83
00:04:37,533 --> 00:04:41,723
we can see that nano has written out
what I typed in the editor to that file.

84
00:04:43,190 --> 00:04:46,890
Again, the goal of this video is just to
let you know that these commands exist and

85
00:04:46,890 --> 00:04:48,360
what their basic function is.

86
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,470
There's lots more to
learn about each of them.

87
00:04:50,470 --> 00:04:53,030
For more info,
be sure to check the teacher's notes.
