Wildcards PracticeCreate test files with different extensions:
touch file1.txt file2.txt file3.log file4.log test1.txt test2.log
Use wildcard * to filter files:
ls *.txt
ls *.log
Use wildcard ? to match a single character:
ls file?.txt
Use character range [1-2]:
ls file[1-2].txt
Delete files using wildcard:
rm *.log
Take screenshots before and after deletion.
Soft & Hard Links
Create original file and check inode:
echo “Linux Practice” > original.txt
ls -li original.txt
Create hard link:
ln original.txt hardlink.txt
ls -li original.txt hardlink.txt
Create soft link:
ln -s original.txt softlink.txt
ls -li original.txt hardlink.txt softlink.txt
Delete original file and observe behavior:
rm original.txt
ls -li
Verify using cat command:
cat hardlink.txt
cat softlink.txt
Take screenshots showing inode comparison and link behavior.
