How can you show a list of your previously entered commands, filtered for the string "service"? (Multiple correct answers, choose ALL that apply)

Cat ~/.bash_history | grep service
Last | service
History | grep service
Sometimes a | is just a |

Correct Answer(s)

A. Cat ~/.bash_history | grep service
A. History | grep service

Explanation

The correct answers are "cat ~/.bash_history | grep service" and "history | grep service".

1. "cat ~/.bash_history | grep service" uses the "cat" command to display the contents of the "~/.bash_history" file, which contains a list of previously entered commands. The "|" (pipe) symbol is used to redirect the output of "cat" to the "grep" command, which filters the output for the string "service".

2. "history | grep service" uses the "history" command to display a list of previously entered commands. The "|" (pipe) symbol is used to redirect the output of "history" to the "grep" command, which filters the output for the string "service".

The "sed" command can be used to manipulate text strings in a file or files, without having to edit the file manually. You are in a directory containing dozens of files., Some filesnames end with the .txt extension and some with the .cfg extension. You want to replace the string "foo" with the string "bar" in every file ending in .txt using only one command. Which command below would accomplish that?

Sed -i "s/foo/bar"
Sed -s "i/foo/bar/"
Sed -i "s/foo/bar/" *.txt
Sed -i "s/foo/bar/" *.*

Correct Answer

A. Sed -i "s/foo/bar/" *.txt

Explanation

The correct answer is "sed -i "s/foo/bar/" *.txt" because the command uses the sed utility with the -i flag to edit files in-place, meaning it will modify the files directly without creating backup files. The "s/foo/bar/" argument is the substitution command, which replaces the string "foo" with "bar". The "*.txt" specifies that the command should only be applied to files with the .txt extension.
