Exercise 1 - Process Text Streams using Filters

Linux OS provides commands that can be used as filters. These filters take the text from the specified source file, re-format the text as required, and store the output in a new file. Applying multiple commands can create text streams that are re-formatted at each command in the pipeline.

In this exercise, you will understand how to use filters to work with multiple commands.
