Here are the steps to find files containing specific strings:

  1. Open your terminal.

  2. Navigate to the /home/analyst/reports/users directory by using the cd command:

cd /home/analyst/reports/users

The ls command lists all files and directories in the current directory, and the grep command searches for a specific string. Here is the command:
ls | grep Q1

This command will list all files that contain the string "Q1" in their names.
