Incorrect filename in instructions on nested directories challenge #114

Closed goldnate closed 7 years ago

goldnate commented 7 years ago

I finally used ls -al to see all the subdirectories, etc. and saw that the filename we are supposed to cat in this challenge is '. .the flag.txt'. However, the challenge says the full path name is '.../ /. /the flag.txt' so the second . in the filename is replaced with a /. That made the challenge WAAAAY harder than it should have been.

Note: if you are having trouble with a challenge you can see solutions here -> https://github.com/jarv/cmdchallenge/blob/master/challenges.yaml Search for the challenge and look for the example: to see one way of doing it.
