====== File Management Practice ======
==== Exercise 1 ====
Purpose: To practice creating directories, copying files between directories, and moving files between directories on a Linux system.
Perform these steps on Matrix or another Linux system:
- Create a directory in which to practice (for example, "file-practice") using the ''mkdir'' command.
- Change to that directory using the ''cd'' command.
- Create these directories:
* portable-document-format
* open-document-text
* january
* february
* march
* april
- Create these files (they can be empty files):
* january.pdf
* january.odt
* february.pdf
* february.odt
* march.pdf
* march.odt
* april.pdf
* april.odt
- Make a copy of each of the PDF files in the ''portable-document-format'' directory using a __single command__. Use the ''cp'' command with a filename pattern.
- Make a copy of all of the ODT files in the ''open-document-text'' directory using a __single command__.
- Move (don't copy) all of the files related to January into the ''january'' directory using a single command.
- Repeat the previous step for February, March, and April.
- Use the ''tree'' command to verify your result. It should look like this:
.
├── april
│ ├── april.odt
│ └── april.pdf
├── february
│ ├── february.odt
│ └── february.pdf
├── january
│ ├── january.odt
│ └── january.pdf
├── march
│ ├── march.odt
│ └── march.pdf
├── open-document-text
│ ├── april.odt
│ ├── february.odt
│ ├── january.odt
│ └── march.odt
└── portable-document-format
├── april.pdf
├── february.pdf
├── january.pdf
└── march.pdf
==== Exercise 2 ====
Purpose: To practice creating directories, copying files between directories, and moving files between directories on a Windows system.
Perform these steps on a Windows system:
- Create a directory in which to practice (for example, "file-practice") using the ''mkdir'' command.
- Change to that directory using the ''cd'' command.
- Create these directories:
* portable-document-format
* open-document-text
* january
* february
* march
* april
- Create these files (they can be empty files):
* january.pdf
* january.odt
* february.pdf
* february.odt
* march.pdf
* march.odt
* april.pdf
* april.odt
- Make a copy of all of the PDF files in the ''portable-document-format'' directory using a __single command__. Use the ''copy'' command with a filename pattern.
- Make a copy of all of the ODT files in the ''open-document-text'' directory using a __single command__.
- Move (don't copy) all of the files related to January into the ''january'' directory using a single command.
- Repeat the previous step for February, March, and April.
- Use the ''tree /f'' command to verify your work. The output should look like this:
Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is FC3B-8615
