Title: Redirection
Course: CIS 121: Linux/UNIX I: Fundamentals ~ For IGNITE Review > Section: Learning Modules

Individual commands for selecting certain information or finding files are very useful. In this module, we will look at several ways to do this. In addition, since much of the power of the command line is not based in the individual commands, but rather in the ability to set up a series of commands to accomplish larger tasks, we will discuss approaches for chaining commands together.

By the end of this module, you will:

- Understand the benefits of redirection
- Understand the difference between | and >
- Use wildcards on the command line
