I'm trying to figure out certain commands for these steps. If you wish to discuss with me in real time, PM me your AIM or MSN, thanks. Here are the steps.
Edit the readcal_final file
Delete all of the lines that comprise the colandar portion of the memo
Without leaving vi, open a new shell
Copy the readcal_final file to readcal_final3
Question: "If you cat the readcal_final3 file what do you expect to see?
Cat the file and see if you were correct"
Issue the ps command. "How many shells are you executing?"
Exit the new shell; Save your data and leave vi
-------
Edit the readcal_final2 file
While remaining in vi, edit the readcal_final3 file
While remaining in vi, go back to the readcal_final2 file
Scroll to the bottom of readcal_final2
While remaining in vi, go back to the readcal_final3 file
Delete everything in the file except the calendar, i.e. delete the text of
the memo
While remaining in vi, go back to readcal_final2
When prompted save your changes
Leave vi
(At this point your first "final" file should contain only the memo. The 2nd "final" file should contain the memo and the calendar. The 3rd final file should contain only the calendar.)
