Hi everyone

I have a excesise question and i answer 3 of them but im bit confuse with the last question number 4

thanks

1 Create and go inside directory name a

Code:

- mkdir a

- cd a

2 Create files 'b' and 'c' with few paragraphs of text in both of them.

Code:

cat> a (press enter)

enter text

ctrl D (quit)

Code:

cat> b (press enter)

enter text

ctrl D (quit

)

3 Create directories '1' '2' '3' with single command where directory '3' is inside directory '2' and directory '2' is inside directory '1'
-

Code:

mkdir -p 1/2/3

2 Move file 'b' to directory '2'
-

Code:

mv b 1/2

3 Move file 'c' to directory '3'
-

Code:

mv c 1/2/3

4 Copy files 'b' and 'c' to each directory inside directory 'a' where they already do not exist.

What have you tried and where are you stuck?

You mentioned that you created files b and c in diretcory a, but in commands mentioned in your question, you have created files named a and b. So once check your question again. Also, as Grail said, where're you stuck?

Sorry, my typing mistake but the correction is there is no file 'a' only file 'b' and 'c'.......im stuck at question 4

Thanks
