thank you very well done

Wow mac sucks

This video is definitely getting saved for future use

Wonderfully explained

where are you Corey. we are missing you man 💔

Hey, thanks for the great tutorial, btw how did you create a custom zsh / bash session for theses tutorials?

great explanation

Once I fell asleep on the keyboard typing grep arguments and it showed me the path to the 5th demension

where are you Corey? Come back pls..

How can I use grep to search multiple words or term, example. suppose i want to search for berries or cranberries in one line?

How to i search for a Word like "John Williams" and i want to Eliminate the text below and after?

Goos style for teaching, but im primarly looking for how to find files by filenames.

When you wc -w some text of exactly 1000 words you get 1000 as a result. However when you split the same text with grep into individual words you get 1040 words because grep is splitting off the ‘s and ‘t from words like

• he’s
• there’s
• don’t
• won’t
• etc.

when you do

• cat input_file | grep -oE '\w{1,} '

Is there a way to make grep behave like wc, or do we have to use a different strategy for getting the right (desired) result?

Any ideas?

how can i list show directories that do not start with 'a' and do not end with 'e'
please

Please help. How can print the one that start with ''A'' and do not have ''B''

You're the best! Thanks again.
