Q. How to search meta character in linux
To use the grep command to search for metacharacters such as &! . * ? and \, precede the
metacharacter with a backslash (\). The backslash tells grep to ignore (escape) the metacharacter.
For example, the following expression matches lines that start with a period, and is useful when
searching for nroff or troff formatting requests (which begin with a period).
Eg
$ grep ^\.
Search pattern elements
^ The beginning of a text line
$ The end of a text line
. Any single character
[...] Any single character in the bracketed list or range
[^...] Any character not in the list or range
* Zero or more occurrences of the preceding character or regular expression
.* Zero or more occurrences of any single character
\ The escape of special meaning of next character

Lp: to print

How you use cut commands to cut fiels and cut columns from a table with proper option
Give the use of paste in unix with suitable example
Grep with all option
Differentiate c i)at > file cat >> file ii) ls ls -l
First one creates file second one append to the same file
Input redirection eg wc -l <file.txt will count line of file.txt so we take the std input of fie.txt to
apply wc command on it
Output redirection eg ls>file.txt will redirect the output of ls command to file.txt,it
overwrites the previous content
Where as >> is an output operator but it does not overwrite the exiting file but append the new data
Use of pipe | for combine commands see examles
What is chmod command.
Explain with example the symbolic fie permission change using chmod
Eg symbolic : chmod ugo+rwx filename
Octal : chmod 777 filename u-user g-group o-other
R=read( w-write x-execute r=4 w=2 x=1
