Pipes and Redirection
 

Hello
I have a Questions
How I can achieve these:
1) Redirect the listing of the /usr/bin directory to a file called listing.log

2) Append the listing of the /etc directory to listing.log

1)ls /usr/bin > listing.log
2)ls /etc/* >> listing.log

">>" this sign appends the text in the file.

Smells like homework ... :tisk:

These look like homework questions, which we will not do for you.

What have you tried and what are you stuck with?

Hint: search for bash redirection and/or bash pipes

Hi,

looks like homework, so I'll not give you the answer. Instead I'll point you in the right direction.
For 1) you need to learn about ">", and for 2) you need to learn about ">>".

Cheers,

Evo2.

if you are still learning don't take the shortcut, learn the basic and have a solid foundation.

it will help you a lot.
