Linux - Pipes and filters

so here in this video we are going to

check with your Linux pipes and filters

which much useful when you will be using

a shell scripting programming or when

you will be configuring your own scripts

and creating your own programs so this

pipes and filters are very important for

you so let us talk about what are pipes

pipes are generally used for connecting

to different commands or we can connect

to different commands by taking the

output of your first command and moving

it to into the second command so

basically what it does know for clear

example I have a command where I want

the output now for example I have

provided two plus two I want the output

as a four this four I want to add with

this some other particular number like

plus three so the output of the first

command should be taken to this second

command so for that for merging for

those of the files will be using a pipe

command so I can see I have mentioned

over here pipe is a form of redirection

that is transfer of a standard output

provided by first command to the other

destination or on the particular command

same way that is again used by your next

shell scripting which we have already

discussed and also this commands can be

used into any of the processes or any of

the process performed by any of your

services which we have created to any

other particular service now for example

you have installed a particular software

into your Linux operating system and for

running a file first this particular

software should be enabled and installed

into the machine if it is enabled or

installed then only you will be able to

open that file which has the format of

this particular application so this is

again a pipe so Mills we are going to

standardize or sort this particular

content in such a way that the very

first dependent task is performed first

then the output is given to this second

command so that it can perform ahead

that is your pipe now again I'm talking

about the filters now pipe combines the

multiple output of your commands write

or provide one out output of the command

to the other particular process or any

the leader but filters filters works

completely in different way filters what

it will do if you have a huge firm it

can filter out the data with general you

require so what the data is required

will be again filtered by using the

commands of the filter so you have many

tools for filtering your particular data

or a particular file content you have

the commands such as your or command C

command spell command and your WC

commands now we have already used a WC

you come on you might have seen about it

you might have understood it whenever we

have a file of a huge letters and words

Inc and built into it or we have a sign

into it but it can count the number of

letters it can count the number of words

where we have encountered it manually so

automatically what it does it provides

you a filter to contain what you require

you can also search for a content that

again will be provided into the filter

commands so let us see some of the

filter commands which be used basically

into your shell scripting the commands

are sort now for example if I want to

sort multiple data multiple lines or

multiple columns I can use this card

come on saying before filtering we can

also use the PG commands so see how this

particular PG and sort commands can be

used into our Linux operating system

using different parameters so let us

begin with our terminal so here I have

two different files contain fruits names

as well as one contain the numbers now

let us check what exactly we do have

into this first now if I am moving into

the fruit I have some list of the fruit

names same thing if I'm using and

looking at your numbers I have some

numbers so let us see how we can use our

sort tools for it now starting with your

fruit names so as we know they have

multiple fruits over here and they are

not aligned in any of your ascending or

descending order and I want you know to

align it firm to align it properly so

while we are aligning it so we will be

using the command called

sorter so till align it properly

but you can see there is again a

particular fruit name that is evidence

again repeated and the small kids is you

know having the first priority and the

second list is your capital e now if I

want only these are yours the same I

want that if you know capital should

have thee first in the list or it should

appear first in the list

I'll give the command - f and then the

same fruit me re following so I can see

all the particular you know those

particular fruits like your FL and

mingle so they are having now not

inverse order the capital is you know

and first in the list and in the smaller

case is in second list same way or we

can also sort your numbers but if I'm

using these sort numbers form so it

won't sort it further because while you

are using the sort number you need to

define we are going to sort the numbers

here so according to numbers I'm going

to sort now and again see it isn't

sorting orders right so lowest to the

highest number same Li if I want to make

it reverse I can also use - our numbers

fancy it isn't print order same thing I

can also use - our for my command

it's like your sort - n R and then the

numbers so it is completely numbers

because last time I haven't defined n so

it isn't recognized this is the number

or not same way I can also sort my fruit

name in divorce over by giving - R so it

isn't reverse order so these are the

sort commands and relieve each we have

so this is how generally we use the sort

commands now I'm talking about the pipes

generally most of the times it happens

like you know we are using different

parameters like in salt we have used and

XF this are the parameter assists we are

processing your value into it simply

have seen like into these

we are passing some parameters we are

passing this value into this fellow so

that it gets me the details of the

current value same here we can use many

of the commands for you know there we

use the pipes over here and you know

filters to get access to thee anybody

compare D so here we have the filtered

value late we have no change the

sequence of the numbers we have change

the sequence of your complete orders of

the you know numbers as well as your

fruit names so this is how to really use

pipes and filters into your Linux

operating systems into next video I'm

coming up with more of the commands so

keep watching
