Solution.
tr -d \’ < calories.a.csv

5. Select the first column from file calories.csv, i.e., the column with food names.
Solution.
cut -sf1 -d \; calories.csv

6. In file calories.csv change capital letters to small letters, but only in the first column (cut the first
column using cut, replace capital letters with small ones using tr, then put them back using
paste).
Solution.
cut -f1 -d “ “ calories.csv > first

cut -sf2- -d \; calories.csv > others

tr ‘[:upper:]’ ‘[:lower:]’ < first | paste -d \; - others > calories.csv

rm first others

changed.
Solution.
tr “E” “z” < calories | diff calories.csv -

8. Sort file calories.csv according to amount of calories in increasing order. The first header line has
to remain at the beginning of the file.
Solution.
# save the header
head -n 1 calories.csv > header

# sort the rest and append it to header

tail –n +2 calories.csv | sort –t \; -k4,4 –nr >> header

mv header calories.csv

9. Sort file calories.csv according to triple [protein, carbohydrates, fat] in an increasing order. The
header has to remain at the beginning of the file.

mv novy calories.csv

rm fifth sixth seventh

Solution.
ls -l | tail -n +2 | cut -c2-10

Suppose you have three files, summand1, summand2 and sum, each of these files contains the
same number of lines, each line contains just a number. Compose these files to just one output
where each line has the following format : summand1 + summand2=sum.

Solution.
paste -d+= summand1 summand2 sum

12. Output the list of files in the current directory in the form of “size file name”. The list should be
created by filtering the output of ls -l and ls commands.
Solution.
ls -l | tail -n +2 | tr -s “ “ | cut -d “ “ -f5 > lsl

ls | paste -d “ “ lsl –
rm lsl

13. Output the logins from file /etc/passwd, each contains five logins separated with a comma (,)
Solution.
cut -d: -f1 < /etc/passwd | paste –d “,” - - - - -

or

cut -d: -f1 < /etc/passwd | paste -s –d “,,,,\n” -

14. Split calories.csv into sub-files, each of which has 100 bytes. View some of them and than delete

Solution.
cut -d: -f1,3 < /etc/passwd | head -5 > filea

18. Output the three logins and UIDs from file /etc/passwd, and save the output to fileb file.
Solution.
cut -d: -f1,3 < /etc/passwd | head -3 > fileb

19. Display the common lines between filea and fileb.


Solution.
Remark : before applying comm. command for comparison between files, you have to firstly sort
these files.
