Elizabeth,
This is not an especially long message thread and there are at least two different fixes above.

The Linux "way" of things is to request that users make at least minimal efforts to solve their own problems.

Pretty much everyone here is either an end-user or a volunteer developer. Unless you have paid for support, there - is - no "help desk".

Unlike the famous RTF manuals of yore, all of the comments above are in ordinary English.

Say one "Our Father" and count your blessings.

But, read them you must. Solving problems by educating yourself is how angels earn their wings in Linux.

Ten minutes of reading and the memorization of a single, simple, command will almost certainly solve the problem although there are two alternative methods mentioned that will DEFINITELY solve the problem at the expense of being vastly more "techy".

You will also, if you read closely, learn how to nest options within the same command so that multiple files receive the same flying fickle finger of fate with no fatal finger flinching cramps from typing the same command over again

That, alone, is worth the journey.
