Week 06:
touch: Case 2
Scenario: Create Multiple Files at Once
Task: Create multiple files under directory (/ProjectX/SourceCode/Python) —
file1.txt,file2.txt, and file3.txt. Create multiple files under directory
(/ProjectX/SourceCode/Javascript) — file4.txt and file5.txt.
This will be done in single line command execution with {} and | sign.
Task: Verify files creation Using Tree
Week 06:
cat: Case 3
Scenario: Merge Multiple Files into One
Task: First put “Hello” text in ProjectX/SourceCode/Python/file1.txt, and put
“World” text in ProjectX/SourceCode/Python/file2.txt. Append file2.txt data in
file1.txt
Task: Verify file contents
Task: Print file contents with line numbers
