learning about pipes!
im trying to figure out how to do the following:

using pipes to combine grep and find commands to print all lines in files that start with the letter f in the current directory that contain the word "test" for example?

again using pipes to combine grep and find command, how can I print all the file names starting with f whose names also contain the word "test", again in the current directory?

combining grep and cat commands , i need the print the number of lines in "testa.txt" and "testb.txt" that contain the string hello.c

combining tail and grep commands, if the string "pipes" is in the last 5 lines of a test.txt file, then i want to print the lines it is in.

combing head, tail, grep commands, if the string "pipes" is in lines 10-14 of file test.txt, the print the lines it is in.

thanks for any help!

pipenightdreams

PIPENIGHTDREAMS(6)						   Games Manual 						PIPENIGHTDREAMS(6)

NAME

       pipenightdreams - Just another pipe trip (PipeDream clon).

SYNOPSIS

	pipenightdreams [--datadir <DATADIR>] [--fullscreen]

DESCRIPTION

	pipenightdreams  is  a PipeDream style game. The objetive of the game is to carry liquid from some point to the exit using different kinds
       of pipes. On each level there is a minimum number of required pipes that should be at least reached for it to be completed.

       The score is increased by using as many pipes as possible an by collecting various bonus tokens making the liquid pass through their pipes.
       There are also life bonus and, hopefully soon, "freeze tokens".

       The  game  is  not  exactly a copy of PipeDream. It's based only on the facts I remember and on many other things which have been added, or
       changed hoping for making it better.

   KEYS
       The game is entirely played using the keyboard and the key layout is as follows:

       SPACE  Puts the next pipe where the pointer is.

       CURSOR KEYS
	      Move the pointer.

       ENTER  Speeds up the liquid (Avoids skillful players to get bored).

       ESC    Goes back to the main screen or exits.

   BONUS TYPES
       The various types of bonus tokens are the following:

       LIFE BONUS
	      The purple one with a "L" on it.

       SUPER BONUS
	      The red one with a "B" on it.

       ULTRA BONUS
	      The blue one.

       HYPER BONUS
	      The green one.

OPTIONS

	--datadir <CUSTOM DATA DIR>  is used when the data directory is not the default one ( /usr/share/games/pipenightdreams if installed from a
       rpm package and	/usr/local/share/games/pipenightdreams when installed by compiling the source package).

	--fullscreen  switchs to fullscreen mode.

BUGS

       Not known.
