Added data files to use for exercise #42

Closed ljsmart closed 7 years ago

ljsmart commented 7 years ago

Per discussion here https://github.com/data-lessons/librarycarpentry/issues/31 adding data files for exercise. The use case:

I'm currently dealing with an inherited tech report digitization project with really bad tracking data and documentation. I've got a 908 delimited records for the collection of reports and a directory full of pdf files. And the numbers don't match up.

The pdf file names are a variation of the call number which substitutes underscores for spaces. So, the task is to go into the delimited file, convert the call numbers to the file naming convention then match up the resulting list with the list of pdfs then spit out the records with no pdf match. That way, I know which tech reports still need to be scanned.

We may need/decide to move these later, but they work here for now. @ljsmart: do you plan to write out the exercise? If so, might be a good idea to open a new issue.

ljsmart commented 7 years ago

Sure, I can do that. My shell fu is a bit rusty. I'm reviewing the lessons as refresher and will write up the exercise when I'm finished, so as to be sure of goodness of fit.

@ljsmart Awesome. If your fu isn't quite up to it, no worries. We really appreciate the effort. Just write the bits you can in shell fu, write the right rest in human fu, and the lesson maintainers https://github.com/data-lessons/library-shell/issues/10 can help translate the human bits to shell!
