Tutorials for various Linux tooling?

I’m looking for reliable, clear, and complete tutorials on:

  • Sed
  • Grep
  • Awk
  • Bison/yacc
  • M4
  • Util-linux
  • Coreutils
  • Bash

However, I repeatedly only find either manual pages (while complete, often not very helpful when trying to learn); or incomplete, but helpful.

I’d prefer to complete a tutorial/training in one place, without paying – I’m poor.

Have you looked at YouTube for them ?

Yes one place
But no not all together

So i did a search in YouTube and found them but different sources so not together as such

Then refine to each command

Offer some for free but not sure for your demands if they are suitable or to pay for

This YouTube channel covers most of what you list. Go to the channel and search it for ‘sed’ or ‘awk’, etc.

I seem to remember sed and awk were in one single O’Reilly book for both… bargain…

I’m not good with tutorials… or books…

I need practical applications and learn by using them - trial and error…

I use awk fairly often, I use sed syntax all the time, either sed directly, or search and replace in vi / vim, or the perl rename command (it’s the default rename command in Debian based distros).

Both sed and awk use “REGEX” which I can barely get my head around - I barely even understand the bare minimum :
