We highly recommend downloading the files for this Q&A and following along with us: 

wget https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse391/24au/lectures/7/questions7.zip
unzip questions7.zip

  1. Suppose that we have the following file called emails.txt, where each line contains a list of a person’s emails: 

    scot@uw.edu, scot@cs.washington.edu
may@tech-company.com
ning@nonprofit.ngo
    What is the command to print the contents of the file such that all of the @ symbols are replaced with at (there should be spaces on either side), The output should look like: 
    scot at uw.edu, scot at cs.washington.edu
may at tech-company.com
ning at nonprofit.ngo

  2. The following file, poem.txt, is a short poem which has been poorly formatted: 

    I      see      you  driving
round town    with           the  one I love
and   I'm like   haiku
    Write a command that outputs poem.txt such that there is only a single space between each word.

  3. One of the new developers at faang introduced a bug into the source code that incorrectly logged ticket id’s for product transactions. The contents of log.txt are as follows: 

    4444-1111-2222-3333
DDDD-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC
    The problem is that the first four characters should actually appear at the end of the line. Write a command that has the corrected ticket id’s (i.e.) 
    1111-2222-3333-4444
AAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD

  4. The following file, secret.txt contains a conversation between two spies. 

    Spy 1: I heard that you like secret kit kats
Spy 2: Indeed. I saw Person X eating one the other day.
Spy 1: Did you drop off the secret m&ms?
Spy 2: No, I ate them.
Spy 1: ...
Spy 2: Keep that a secret.
    Our goal is to replace all lines of the conversation that contain the word secret with REDACTED. Our output should look like: 
    REDACTED
Spy 2: Indeed. I saw Person X eating one the other day.
REDACTED
Spy 2: No, I ate them.
Spy 1: ...
REDACTED

  5. Write a command that converts 7 letter palindromes into two words, such that the 4th character is replaced with a space and the last three characters are reversed. For example, if we ran 

    echo "racecar" | YOUR_COMMAND
    The output would be 
    rac rac
    Challenge: Can you write a similar command which has the same behavior, but prints nothing if the input string is not a 7-character palindrome?
