What command do you use when you want to read only top lines of a text file?
Set your answer to environment variable named stage1 and execute a shell.
$ stage1=$your_answer_here sh
If your answer is what I meant, you will be able to access stage2.txt file.
$ cat stage2.txt
cat: can't open 'stage2.txt': Operation not permitted
Jesteśmy w stanie przeczytać tylko plik stage1.txt, kolejne są odblokowywane w momencie kiedy rozwiążemy poprzednie zagadki. Więc idziemy po kolei:
$ cat stage1.txt
What command do you use when you want to read only top lines of a text file?
Set your answer to environment variable named stage1 and execute a shell.
$ stage1=$your_answer_here sh
If your answer is what I meant, you will be able to access stage2.txt file.
$ stage1=head sh
$ cat stage2.txt
What command do you use when you want to read only bottom lines of a text file?
Set your answer to environment variable named stage2 and execute a shell.
$ stage2=$your_answer_here sh
If your answer is what I meant, you will be able to access stage3.txt file.
$ stage2=tail sh
$ cat stage3.txt
What command do you use when you want to pick up lines that match specific patterns?
Set your answer to environment variable named stage3 and execute a shell.
$ stage3=$your_answer_here sh
If your answer is what I meant, you will be able to access stage4.txt file.
$ stage3=grep sh
$ cat stage4.txt
What command do you use when you want to process a text file?
Set your answer to environment variable named stage4 and execute a shell.
$ stage4=$your_answer_here sh
If your answer is what I meant, you will be able to access stage5.txt file.
$ stage4=awk sh
$ cat stage5.txt
OK. You reached the final stage. The flag word is in flags.txt file.
flags.txt can be read by only one specific program which is available
in this server. The program for reading flags.txt is one of commands
you can use for processing a text file. Please find it. Good luck. ;-)
$ sed -e '' flags.txt
OK. You have read all .txt files. The flag word is shown below.
