1.g Create and edit text files

...

You should be familiar with at least one of the editors below:

• vi (1p) - screen-oriented (visual) display editor
• vim (1) - Vi IMproved, a programmer's text editor
• nano (1) - Nano's ANOther editor, an enhanced free Pico clone
• emacs - GNU Emacs text editor

📝 NOTE: Be aware that vim changes files by copying the file over (so the inode also changes).

Review the following commands:

• cat (1) - concatenate files and print on the standard output
• less (1) - opposite of more
• more (1p) - display files on a page-by-page basis
• head (1) - output the first part of files
• tail (1) - output the last part of files

Review the following commands:

• sort (1) - sort lines of text files
• wc (1p) - word, line, and byte or character count
• grep (1) - print lines matching a pattern
• sed (1) - stream editor for filtering and transforming text
• uniq (1) - report or omit repeated lines
• diff (1) - compare files line by line
• paste (1) - merge lines of files
