We will be using the software.csv file:

Lets take a quick look at it using head to view the first few lines:. How is this structured? What columns do we have?

Code Block
# The software.csv file takes the form:

Question 01: Which named applications are related to the words “bayes”?

We have a csv file, with comma separated columns, the second column represents the name of the application.

This assumes we want to find all instances of “bayes” regardless of case.

Code Block
[intro_to_linux]$ grep -i bayes software.csv
application,Bayescan,bayescan,beartooth,"BayeScan aims...
application,Beast1,beast1,wildiris,BEAST is a cross-platform program for Bayesian...
application,Beast2,beast2,beartooth,"BEAST 2 is a cross-platform program for Bayesian...

Info

Which of the returned lines represent an application with bayes within it’s name column?

Code Block
[intro_to_linux]$ grep -i bayes software.csv
application,Bayescan,bayescan,beartooth,"BayeScan aims...
application,Freebayes,freebayes,beartooth,"freebayes is a Bayesian genetic...
application,RevBayes,revbayes,wildiris,Bayesian phylogenetic...

The other returned lines are “lines that contain the word bayes within it” - so not strictly what we are looking for.

Info

Question 02: Which files contain reference to IPA?

In this case we want to explicitly search for IPA (all upper-case) and recursively search through all folders.

Code Block
[intro_to_linux]$ grep -r IPA *
clusters/beartooth.html:    .../pages/1893597185/IPA">IPA</a></td>
software.csv:application,IPA,ipa,beartooth,Improved Phased Assembler (IPA) is...
