I’m trying to list all the standard commands that contain a certain string. I’m told echo $PATH will help with this but I’m not sure how… Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Try this:
find `echo $PATH | tr : ' ' ` | grep FOOWhere “FOO” is the string you’re interested in.
And if you want to ignore case, use the
-iflag forgrep:find `echo $PATH | tr : ' ' ` | grep -i FOO
