Hi i was wondering if you can help me do a command line for this. I am so lost and i need to pass my class.
Thank you.

Commands:

grep
wc
echo

Operators:

pipes
redirects
quotes
sets
anchors

Files:

/var/share/CS125/secure.log in your virtual machine

first read

Code:

grep --help 
wc --help 
echo --help 
--- then the manual pages ---
man grep
then 
man wc 
then 
man echo

to get out of the "man" page hit " q"

Also we will NOT do your homework BUT if you are stuck on something we will point you in the right direction

so post exactly what you have so far and what is not working and what you need it to do

I still have no idea what you're talking about. Can you be more specific? thanks

Please don't ask same question twice (same here)

To know about commands, read manuals:

Code:

~$ man <command_name>

To know about operators, you can follow this and this.

For files, let's know which Virtual machine?
