File/Directory Manipulation
Copy le(s) (from le1 to new le, le2 ). Copy le(s) into a directory. Copy a directory and, recursively, its subdirectories. Create, or make a directory. Move a le or, if le1 and le2 are in the same directory, rename a le. Move les into a directory. If directory dir2 exists, move dir1 into dir2 ; otherwise, rename dir1 as dir2. Remove (erase) le(s). (BE CAREFUL) Remove (by force) les, directories, and recursively, any subdirectories. Remove directory (directory must be empty).

cp le1 le2 cp les directory cp -r dir1 dir2 mkdir directory mv le1 le2 mv les directory mv dir1 dir2 rm les rm -rf names rmdir directory

Data Manipulation
Display les to the shell. Display all lines in the les that match a pattern. Display contents of les one screen at a time. Order the lines in a le or les alphabetically (this command does not alter the le or les it merely displays the sorted output to the screen): . . . in reverse order. . . . numerically (puts 2 before 10 instead of after).

cat les grep " pattern " les more les sort les

sort -r les sort -n les
