- All right.
Let's have a look
at the commands that we have seen in his lesson.
It all started with editors, nano the easy editor
or vimtutor, the best way to prepare yourself
for life with VIM.
Then there is VI as well as VIM
which both are basically the same editor.
VIM is VI improved.
VI is just the original editor
as it was created in the, in 1984.
You will appreciate VIM. And in some cases, if you get
to a real old system, you might not find VIM.
You can use vi instead.
More is what you can use as a pager
to see the contents of text files.
And less is doing the same as more
but just a little bit better way.
Head is showing the top couple of lines in the text file
and tail, it's showing the last lines in the text file.
Now we have cat, which will dump the entire text file
and don't forget about cat minus uppercase a
which will print special characters as well.
And tac is printing a text file in reverse order.
And last we have talked about grep.
Grep is the amazing utility that allows you to find text
in files as well as command output.
