→INVESTIGATION 1: BASICS OF REDIRECTION
# Issue the following Linux command:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">grep 2 <<+<br>line 1<br>line 2<br>line 3<br>+</span><br><br>What do you notice? How does this differ from the previous command? Why?<br><br>
# Issue the '''ls''' command to see all of the '''temporary files''' that were created as a result of redirection.<br><br>
:The problem with using redirection to create files, you have these files taking up space, which requires you remove them. In the next investigation, you will be learning how to issue pipeline commands which can provide information by issuing several Linux commands without creating temporary files.<br><br>
