Grep skills

I am enjoying my new Networking course from Cisco Skills for All. Its free and I think its good so far.

I was taking notes when I wanted to make ASCII art box around the tile and I knew I made a blog post about it… So I looked up the blog post and re-read my instructions but I saw !! instead of !. So I needed to edit the .md blog post. But I didn’t know the name of the post to find it.

So I Googled: find the file that has a word in it in command line

And then I found: grep "hello" *

This was perfect, so I typed out grep "ascii" * and immediately found the file name out of all the other files in the blog post folder. It was probably the first time I have every been in need of grep.

So I am glad I am learning Networking from another online platform. So glad I am using TestOut for the more hands on learning but Cisco’s Skills For All platform for easy to understand instruction.
