[C1ay]

"Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts, I'm kicking off this thread to share some advanced command line tricks that'll take your Linux skills to the next level. I'm talking about masterfully using `grep`, `sed` and regular expressions to manipulate text, and some hidden gems like `exa` and `bat` for file management. Let's dive in and share our favorite Linux command line hacks!"

"Loving this thread! Just wanted to share that I've found the `find` command can be super powerful for digging up files and directories, especially when combined with `-name` or `-regex` flags. Anyone got some tips on using `grep` effectively?"

"Dude, have you guys checked out the Linux man pages? They're super useful for learning all the advanced commands. For mastering the command line, I highly recommend checking out the 'advanced bash scripting' section, it's a game changer."

"Yooo, just wanted to chime in on the bash tricks discussion. One of my personal faves is using `find` to search for files recursively, like `find . -name '*pdf' -exec mv {} /downloads \;` to move all pdfs in the current dir to downloads. Anyone else use this kind of thing?"

"Love the title, OP. What's the most 'advanced' Linux trick you're gonna cover? I'm hoping for some tips on automating repetitive tasks with bash scripts."

"Dude, has anyone else tried the 'find' command with the '-exec' flag? It's a total game changer for digging through huge datasets. Just used it to purge some old logs and it saved me hours of work"

 

[introzen]

"Dude, have you guys checked out 'The Linux Command Line' by William E. Shotts? It's a solid book for mastering the basics, but for advanced tricks, I'd recommend 'Advanced Linux Programming' by Mark Burgess. Been a lifesaver for me when working on some complex scripts"

"Dude, 'alias' is a life-saver for me. I use it to create shortcuts for common commands, makes my workflow way smoother. Anyone have a good alias for renaming multiple files at once?"
