- 7. …quick demo
- 8. Let's state the obvious (and oversimplify)… A command line is an app (often called a shell or terminal) It runs little apps (commands)
- 9. How a command works Input (STDIN, FILE) Output (STDOUT)
- 11. Commands can be made to run sequentially Even better... Commands can talk to each other! It's called "piping"
- 12. Semicolon: Do one thing ; then do another ;
- 13. Only do the second if no error on first &&
- 14. Pipe: Send output from the first to the second |
- 15. What does this do? TEXT( HOUR( TIMEVALUE(Date_Field__c) ) ) Date_Field__c = 2018-01-13T23:21:48.000+0000 '23'
- 16. Deconstructed Date_Field__c = 2018-01-13T23:21:48.000+0000 TIMEVALUE(Date_Field__c) HOUR( 23:21:48.000+0000 ) TEXT( 23 ) '23'
- 17. Another Way to Represent This Date_Field__c = 2018-01-13T23:21:48.000+0000 Date_Field__c TIMEVALUE() HOUR() TEXT() 23:21:48.000+0000 23 '23'
- 18. Command Line Pipe Symbol Date_Field__c = 2018-01-13T23:21:48.000+0000 TIMEVALUE(Date_Field__c) | HOUR() | TEXT() '23'
- 19. There are also parameters Input Output Parameters
- 21. Redirect: Write output from first thing to a file (Careful…this wipes the previous contents of the file) >
- 22. Append: Write output from first thing to the end of a file >>
- 23. cd ls mkdir rmdir touch rm mv cat echo File System Basics change directory list files and directories make a directory/folder remove a directory make a new file remove a file move a file concatenate two files (but also reads a single file to STDOUT) write to STDOUT
- 24. Demo Files, Folders, Input, Output
- 25. alias create a shortcut for a more complicated command
- 26. different ways to read a file cat head tail
- 27. dog ...actually there is no 'dog', but you can do this: $ alias dog='cat' turn your cat into dog
- 28. wc not the loo… word count counts stuff
- 29. grep Search in files (global regular expression print)
- 30. sed Modify data in a stream (stream editor)
- 31. Demo cat, head, tail, wc, grep, sed
- 32. Salesforce DX CLI CLI for accessing Salesforce APIs Unix, CMD, PowerShell, WSL all supported. $ sfdx force --help
