Use Bash to pull data in seconds
- [Instructor] Being able to pull any piece of data from any text file of any size in seconds, is a powerful skill to have. In this course, we use extended globs to interactively match files in the file system and add powerful pattern matching to Bash's for loops and case statements. We then use brace expansion to create thousands of files in a fraction of a second and compare them to globs and regular expressions. I demystify basic and extended regular expressions and use them with Grep, Awk, Sed and Bash's in-process pattern matching. I also do multi-line searches and non-greedy matches using Perl compatible regular expressions with Grep. I'm Grant McWilliams, computer science instructor and Linux enthusiast. Join me now in my course, Bash Patterns and Regular Expressions. Let's get started.
