Expand tabs

I don't like TABs in sources files because in case of mixture of TABs and spaces they looks in different editors. Even worse mixing TABs and spaces could be a problem when you use Python.

Replace spaces with tabs & format file source recursively within a directory

Recursively find php files and replace tab characters with spaces.

Options:

"\*.php" -- replace this with the files you wish to find

"expand" -- replace tabs with spaces (use "unexpand" to replace spaces with tabs)

"-t4" -- tabs represent 4 spaces

Note: The IFS="" in the middle is to prevent 'read' from eating leading/trailing whitespace in filenames.

df without line wrap on long FS name

Personally I think line wrap in default df command is annoying for scripting & seeing. So I overwrite it. Maybe more work should be done if wrapped line is over 2...

This generates a unique and secure password with SALT for every website that you login to

This is a safest variation for "sitepass function" that includes a SALT over a long loop for sha512sum hash

Rename files that have number, space and hyphen

I have often file like this

01 - file.file

02 - file.file

03 - file.file

I rename all with this command

for f in * ; do mv -- "$f" "${f/[0-9][0-9] \- /}" ; done

then it looks like this

file.file

file.file

file.file

etc
