Brigid Goulem Assignment 1

What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

I used a bash script to process raw data. This looked like creating a script for new files, copying files into the appropriate directories, removing files with the IP addresses, and creating a txt file with a list of the files.

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

The biggest thing I learned was the importance of making the changes in the script editor (Visual Studio Code) and not directly in the terminal. This was the biggest barrier. I also learned more practical things like using wildcard and how to properly use file paths.

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

I don't think so, it was pretty straightforward in the end.

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

I made the mistake of entering the code into the terminal rather than script editor, which obviously meant that the script wasn't saving. I spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot this.

How were these changes tested?

I tested the changes by continually running the bash assignment.sh to ensure that the code was running without errors, and then cross-referencing with the assignment file to check that the intended changes were happening. If they weren't I returned to the script and edited it.
