Hi, all.<br><br>The other day I was trying to execute a command on all subdirectories (recursively) and files, even though these files and directories contained non-alphanumeric characters and space. I found my answer on StackOverflow eventually, but there were a lot of different approaches to it, some utilizing commands like "awk", "gawk" (which I'm told is just a GNU version), but in my 13 years on Linux, I've never found the serenity to learn all those crazy text processing commands.<br>
<br>So perhaps, if someone is well versed in text/file/directory processing, a short lecture on the most powerful commands might be useful. Just an idea. :)<br><br>Kind regards,<br>Helgi Hrafn Gunnarsson<br>helgi@binary.s<br>

We are quickly powering through our current RTFM pool.<br>
<br>
Since the point of the exercise is to educate the group it seems only reasonable to find out what commands/systems the group would like to hear about?<br>
<br>
That being said, is there any command/system you were always curious about but haven't found time to investigate?<br>
What about a command you are using but you are unsure if you are getting the full potential out of it?<br>
Any particular command you enjoy using that you think other people could benefit from?<br>
<br>
Let us know and we'll add it to the pool.<br>
<br>

P.S. While we would really like members to present RTFM, just giving us an idea of the things you want to learn about will help a lot.<br>
