I'm just wondering what the tab does

The tab is a "delimiter" or "separator". It says "everything to the left is the name, everything to the right is the grade". It's a convenient way of keeping track of "what is what". As you mentioned, a colon could have been used (as in the password file). But a tab is very commonly used. The reason the delimiter matters is because for example some of the names might have a middle name, so that needs to be anticipated and planned for:

Code:

John Doe A
Julie Ann Smith B
Jacob O. Cohen C

Here are the commands that are relevant for this lab from the slide for this chapter:

What about "wc"? Did they cover that? My guess is you might need wc for the assignment.
