describe unix commands in english

props · #1 (**permalink**) 12-16-2003

the following unix command
ls | grep'?cw1' | wc -l

converting it to english is it going to be like

list the result of the search '?cw1' in number of lines

is that correct ?

This sounds like homework. And I see that another one of your posts seemed like homework to another moderator. Please click on the rules link and read our rules. In particular, notice rule number 6.

Why don't you just try it out and find out for yourself? Touch a file named '?cw1', put your commands into a file with the right permissions, and give it a go?
