Bash Scripting
Brace Expansion {}, helps with repeated commands
touch {apple, banana, chery} // would create three filenames
touch filename_{01..100} // will create 100 filenames
echo {A..Z} // prints A - Z
echo {1..10..3} // prints 1 - 10 step 3
touch {apple,banana,cherry}_{01..100}{w..d}
** Std Output
cp -v * /folder 1> success.txt 2> error.txt
Grep with awk
grep -i searchTerm filename.txt | awk {'print $12'} // will output the 12th thing on a line space delimited and only return that value
** Variables
Bash file
#!/bin/bash
a=hello
b="Good Morinng"
c=16
echo "$b I have $c apples."
output [Good Morning I have 16 Apples]
** Get Info from users
Bash file
#!/bin/bash

read name
echo "What is your password"
read pass
read -p "what is your fav animal " animal
echo name: $name, pass: $pass, animal: $animal // this is an inline prompt
