How to redirect to another dir?

Hello. I have a question as to why my grep command does not seem to be working.

Code: grep -c '^[K]?*' ~

Code: grep -c '^[K].*' ~ I wanted to count the number of files starting with the letter K and have some letters after that. I have such files in my home directory. However, the output is 0. So, I have no ideas why it makes the wrong output. Thanks in advance!!! :o

I am able to locate files in a folder containing a specific text string using this command:

grep -lir 'string' ~/directory/*

How do I move the files that appear in the above result to another location?

I have a list of file names as output of certain command. I need to find each of these files in a given directory.

I tried following command:

ls -R /home/ABC/testDir/ | grep "\.java" | xargs find /home/ABC/someAnotherDir -iname

But it is giving me following error:

find: paths must precede expression: XYZ.java

What would be the right way to do it?

Query --> I want to search for a string in a file and print next 15 lines below the matched string.

1.We do not have GNU grep so cannot use grep -A or grep -B commands. 2. Instead of passing the search pattern as a string to awk.

I seriously can't understand where I'm going wrong with his question. The first part is.

List all the file and directory names in /etc which have 1 or more numbers in their name. Remember to use "-d" in the ls command, and do not descend into subdirectories (i.e. no recursion). Save this list in caine's home directory as a file called "digit".

I am trying to use the tee command to redirect output to a file, and I want the file to be created in a dir which is yet to be created.

date | tee new_dir/new_file

when new_dir is not there, the tee command fails saying

tee: new_dir/new_file: No such file or directory
