Command-Line Power Tools

This workshop should be taken after the "Intro to the Linux Command Line" workshop.

Linux command line tools and regular expressions will be introduced, with an emphasis on such common utilities as grep, find, sed, awk, tmux and other stand-bys of BASH pipelines and scripts. In a mixture of lecture, demos, and hands-on activities, participants will see various ways to expedite many day-to-day computing tasks.

Learning objectives: Participants will learn ways to improve their command-line workflow, how to read and compose regular expressions, how to use command-line tools that leverage regular expressions, and how to chain those tools together to create powerful file-processing pipelines.

Knowledge prerequisites: Basic Linux and the Bash command-line
