Manipulating files and the data in them is a key skill for researchers in Linux-based computing environments. We'll cover creating, moving, searching, and analyzing files and data using Linux commands and utilities such as "find", "grep", "sed", and "awk". A major goal will be increasing the productivity and efficiency of your workflows. If you would like to follow along with the hands-on examples, please bring a laptop that a) runs Linux or Mac OSX, or b) has a Secure Shell client installed (such as PuTTY, downloadable from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html .) Some previous experience with the Linux command line would be helpful.
