# Really Simple Linux Test
A simple Linux test for DevOps candidates. There are a number of ways to complete the following tasks and there are no right, or perfect, answers. The test is to gauge the knowledge and experience of a potential DevOps candidate.
## The test
Edit the file `script.sh` so that when executed, the output matches this:
```shell
$ ./script.sh
Find all .doc file types:
./files/ffc.doc ./files/ffc_6.doc ./files/ffc_95.doc ./files/ffc_97_2000_xp.doc
Change all chmodme files to 0777:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 adam.lewis BTM\Domain Users 8195 Aug 9 10:00 ./files/chmodme.jpg
-rwxrwxrwx 1 adam.lewis BTM\Domain Users 5500 Aug 9 10:00 ./files/chmodme.gif
Change bad for good:
The good fox jumps over the good dog.
Good, Good, GOOD, good, GOOD, good, good, goodie bag.
Count to ten:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Reverse characters in file:
This text should be forwards and on the first line!
And this text should be the same, but on the second line...
```
## Tasks
### Find
Find and list all .doc file types from the files folder in the output of your `script.sh`.
### Change permissions
Find all the 'chmodme.*' files and alter the permissions to 777. List the files in the output of your `script.sh`.
### String replacement
In the file: `files/goodbad.txt`, find all instances of 'bad', 'Bad' and 'BAD', replace with 'good', 'good' and 'GOOD', then show the text in the output of your `script.sh`.
### Count to ten
Write a mechanism of print 1 to 10 with spaces and output it from your `script.sh`.
### Manipulate text
Using: `files/backwards.txt`, reverse the characters in the text and reverse the order of the lines in the file. Output the result from your `script.sh`.
## Submitting answers
