Solution

Here are the steps to perform the tasks:

  1. Copy a file named data1.txt from /input_data to /process_data:

    • Open the terminal.
    • Use the cp command to copy the file. The syntax is cp source destination. So, type cp /input_data/data1.txt /process_data/.
  2. Move a file named data2.txt from /input_data to /archive_data:

    • Use the mv command to move the file. The syntax is mv source destination. So, type mv /input_data/data2.txt /archive_data/.
  3. Merge all files in /process_data into a single local file named merged_data.txt:

    • Use the cat command to concatenate and display the content of files. The > operator is used to write the output of a command to a file. If the file named merged_data.txt does not exist, the shell creates it; if it does exist, the shell truncates it and then writes the output of the command to it.
    • Navigate to the /process_data directory by typing cd /process_data/.
    • Then type cat * > merged_data.txt to merge all files in the current directory into merged_data.txt.

Please replace the paths in the commands with the actual paths on your system.

Write a function concatenate_files(filename1, filename2, new_filename) that concatenates the text from two source files such that the text from the file named by argument filename2 follows the text from filename1. The concatenated text should be written to a new file with the name given by new_filename. Your function must not return anything.We have provided sample input files named part1.txt and part2.txt containing a portion of the text from the novel Alice in Wonderland to test your function.
