Course Description
One of the most important tasks we undertake in Linux is processing text in files. This course explores two powerful tools we have to do this: grep and sed. Grep and sed find and manipulate text in files using regular expressions, which use special characters for searching and replacing text.
In the course, we’ll introduce regular expression syntax in the context of learning grep, then apply what we’ve learned as we work with sed. Topics include:
- finding text with grep
- regular expression syntax
- meta characters
- validating emails and phone numbers
- intro to sed
- replacing text in files
- line number addressing
- outputting only found lines
- printing line numbers
- adding text before and after lines
- simple sed scripts
The course is in two units, and runs just over an hour in length.

Great course, it teaches how to use grep and sed, and how the regular expressions work. Thank you!

really gave me a great start into grep and sed ; luckily the test / demo files were small so i could just type them in myself to test and experiment on ; I have always wanted to learn this and have gotten quite confused - but here i have learned at least how to create some starting regex patterns

very good n comprehensive.Should be a must to learn for guys transitioning from from administration to scripting. Great job ....

This is basic material. I would have liked to see more with the SED command.
By Abe Mishler on 2/22/2017
Makes grep & sed accessible to the beginner. Only one typo in one of the many demos which fortunately doesn't affect the example ( v). There is a nice "bonus" at the end quickly demonstrating awk as well. Highly recommended for beginners or those looking for an interesting review with explanations and live demos.

This was a good beginners course. The trainer was easy to understand and the material was easy to follow.

It might have been nice to have a or some text files supplied with the course so we could follow along exactly. But this is still a good course though.
By Aaron Ogan on 8/3/2016
Very good course overall. There are a few mistakes, but you should be able to spot them quickly if you're paying close attention. Moved slightly slow for me, but some may benefit from that; watching at 1.25x time was a good rate.

para empezar está muy bien
By Seth Pletcher on 2/19/2016
Great course! I wish there was a directory to download of just basic test files to actually practice these commands while watching the tutorial.
