Search for "If you think this is a mistake".

UltraEdit is what I use when I work on my personal computer. The unix command "grep" can be used when on a server to search for text in files.

I guess I'll have to become banned to find out what your email address is. icon_razz.gif icon_neutral.gif

Grep is my hero. I had heard of it, but never used it until it was mentioned in one of the phpBB blog entries about "Exploits from the Crypts" (which I thought was dumb and pointless to post). And now I use it all the time.

If you use a Mac, there is a rather fancy development environment called Coda which allows multi-file search and many other useful things.

I don΄t know if UltraEdit is free but I do know Crimson Editor is and it can search in multiple files too. I like it, maybe mainly because I got used to it over the years.

UltraEdit is not free, but well worth the cost.

grep ... along with other unix commands ... can make you very productive. Suppose you wanted to find a particular string that you need to change, and it appears in multiple files (say more than one template file). This simple command will search your server for every template file containing 'string' and load it into the vi editor:
Code:
vi `grep -ilr string *.tpl`

I don't use a Unix line editor! icon_eek.gif No, I use the graphical TextEdit program for OS X. One problem I have with grep is how to escape some characters like $. My knowledge has gaps. icon_neutral.gif

In most cases you escape with the \. So if you want to search for a $ you would add \ and make it \$. To search for a slash, you escape it with a \\ entry.

Well, that would make sense! I will try that next time.

Now what I need is grep-replace, so I can search for files which have the string, and then automatically replace it.

Hi,

EditPad Pro does it for me, especially the RegEx features icon_smile.gif
Scite isn't to be sniffed at.

I am not ashamed to use Dreamweaver (me likes to be able to add missing features via scripting) - some things have to be interactively done.

Anything more complicated is a simple matter of DirectoryIterator|glob() >> file_get_contents() >> preg_*() >> file_put_contents.

Many of the Unix goodies are available for Windoze.
