Recursively grep a subdirectory for a list of files

This command will grep the entire directory looking for any files containing the list of files. This is useful for cleaning out your project of old static files that are no longer in use. Also ignores .svn directories for accurate counts. Replace 'static/images/' with the directory containing the files you want to search for.

Find all jpgs on the PC (DOS command)

there is no explicit find command in DOS you can create a batch file with this one and find all jpegs on the C drive ...

note: if creating a batch file "find.bat" the syntax changes to:

for %%f in (c) do dir %%f:\%1 /s /p

you can then use

find *.jpg

Move large numbers of files

In my job I often have to deal with moving 100,000 files or more. A mv won't do it because there are too many. This will move everything in the current directory to the target path.

show your private/local ip address

This assumes your local ip starts with 192.something (e.g. 192.168), it greps ifconfig output for an ip that starts with 192, then strips the extra garbage (besides the ip)

Maybe `ifconfig | grep addr | grep Bcast` would also do it
