(Scripting and Programming Fundamentals) i got the flag in powershell but I could not get the flag in python 17/18 and in bash 20/21
python:
I cant get the last point for testing if the file exists
xx xxxx(‘/home/cybrary/Desktop/movies.txt’,‘r’):
Bash script:
we want to find files in /etc beginning with lowercase x:
xx /etc | xxxx ‘xx’
For Python, there are common ways to test for a file after you import os, but how can you see if a file exists without that? The hint is, can the file be opened for reading?
On BASH you want to LIST files that contain an x at the start. How do we list files? How do we test for matching criteria? How do we see if something BEGINS with “x” ?

Joseph, thanks for the hints in python i made it but unfortunately I couldn’t do it ls for listing x* for files starts with lower x after | i put grep
For python, how can you tell IF a file will, OPEN?
For BASH, what regex means “starts with”?

You are missing the part where you call the function…you have to use the name of the function.
def greeting(name):
/# Fix so that the greeting works: e.g. “Hello Joe !” or “Hello Sam !”
print(“xxxxxx” + xxxx + “xx”)
return
/# Replace xxxxx with command to accept user input
name = xxxxx("What is your name? : ")
/# Call the correct function
xxxxxxxx(name)
Hello i am stuck with question #27 which say call the correct function for - print (“your number is” + xxxxxxxxxxx(number)) Please how do i fix this. Thanks a lot for your help.
