00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:11,859
Welcome to working with text files, where managing files
is the first pillar of your Linux skills. Working

2
00:00:11,859 --> 00:00:17,160
with text files is the second pillar, which is
why there are two lessons about this important topic.

3
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,339
In this lesson I'll
start by covering text editors.

4
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:26,995
For those who want to keep it easy and don't
need lots of features, I'll explain nano. For those that want

5
00:00:26,995 --> 00:00:32,950
to use a powerful editor that allows for editing files
in a programmatic way, I'll explain VI in two videos.

6
00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:38,343
Then you learn how to browse text file contents
with the more and less utilities and how to use

7
00:00:38,343 --> 00:00:43,156
head and TIL if you only want to see
the first couple of lines or the last couple of

8
00:00:43,156 --> 00:00:47,969
lines in a text file, and also how CAD
and tech can print all text file contents on screen.

9
00:00:49,109 --> 00:00:55,689
And after that I'll introduce grep, which is one of the
most useful utilities that you will find while working with text files.

10
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:02,710
At the end of this lesson there is a lab that allows you
to practice your skills for working with textiles, as well as a lab solution.
