The Research Office will offer a workshop in Unix scripting, a ubiquitous language that is central for supercomputers and servers, from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 24) at the Downtown Library, Room 136.
If you spend a large amount of time altering files by hand, writing data files for analysis or pre-processing data files, then the value of Unix cannot be overstated. This workshop will cover searching for particular lines using regular expressions, writing/reading/manipulating files and automating simple tasks using loops.
These basic operations can be compounded to save time that can be better spent on more meaningful tasks.
