@ilega_dh You don’t need cat in cases when grep"d" alphabet.txt can read from file too. Edit: But obviously your comment was more of a joke to over complicate it. So never mind then.
This comment is a joke and you wouldn’t want to do it like that in reality, but here are some related keywords you could look up: “Unix cat”, “Unix pipeline”, “grep”, “output redirection”, “command substitution”.
find “$(echo $HOME > variable_holder.txt && cat variable_holder.txt)/$(cat alphabet.txt | grep “d”) $(cat alphabet.txt | grep “o”)$(cat alphabet.txt | grep “c”)$(cat alphabet.txt | grep “s”)”

Agreed. Everything in Linux is a file so let’s keep it that way.
Damn it, I’m almost out of A4 paper though.
What should I search to better understand what is written here? Don’t mind learning myself, just looking for the correct keywords. Thanks!
Read the Bash manual. That one patter on the GP is called “Command Substitution”, you can search for it.
Thanks!
