## Track Live Changes

See changes in a file as it changes:
|
||||
|
||||
> tail -f *somefile*
|
||||
`tail -f *somefile*`
|
||||

See changes in a directory, as it changes:
|

> watch -d ls *directory*
|

`watch -d ls *directory*`

One can also use
|
||||
|
||||
> sed s/\,[^\.]\*$//
|
||||
|
||||
... in order to avoid multiple full stops messing up syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
We can use `\.` as a literal full stop.
|
||||
|
||||
`[^ ]` means anything other than the containing character, so `[^\.]` would mean `anything other than a full stop'.
|
||||
|
||||
`*` in sed means this character is repeated any number of times, including 0, so files with no `.` character would still be processed fine.
|
||||
|
||||
`$` means `end of the line'.
|
||||
|
||||
Apparently sed uses `regex, not globing'.
|
||||
|
||||
Regular expressions (``regex'') looks for patterns and is used with find and grep. It interprets `*' as a wildcard, `?' as a single-character wildcard, and [12,1,2] as characters matching one of a set (in this case, `12 or 1 or 2 but not 21'].
|
||||
|
||||
If the shell is set to find file ``a*b.txt'' then it will pass this first to regex, and hit items like `aab.txt' and `abb.txt'. If it finds nothing, it'll then use globbing, and interpret `a*b.txt' literally.

IFS is the field separator. This is required to denote the different files as marked by a new line, and not the spaces.

# Arguments and Input

## Arguments and Input
|
||||
|
||||
The `rm' program takes arguments, but not `stdin' from a keyboard, and therefore programs cannot pipe results into rm.
|
||||
|
||||
That said, we can sometimes pipe into rm with `xargs rm' to turn the stdin into an argument. For example, if we have a list of files called `list.txt' then we could use cat as so:
|
||||
|
||||
> cat list.txt | xargs rm
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat list.txt | xargs rm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
... *However*, this wouldn't work if spaces were included, as rm would take everything literally.

||||

## Numbers
|

|

Add number to variables with:
|
||||
|
||||
* > let "var=var+1"
|
||||
* > let "var+=1"
|
||||
* > let "var++"
|
||||
* > ((++var))
|
||||
* > ((var=var+1))
|
||||
* > ((var+=1))
|
||||
* > var=$(expr $var + 1)
|
||||
* `let "var=var+1"`
|
||||
* `let "var+=1"`
|
||||
* `let "var++"`
|
||||
* `((++var))`
|
||||
* `((var=var+1))`
|
||||
* `((var+=1))`
|
||||
* `var=$(expr $var + 1)`
|
||||

||||
((n--)) works identically.
