Find text in all files, except in files matching a pattern

Finds all files recursively from your working directory, matching 'aMethodName', except if 'target' is in that file's path.

Handy for finding text without matching all your files in target or subversion directories.

reverse-i-search: Search through your command line history

"What it actually shows is going to be dependent on the commands you've previously entered.

When you do this, bash looks for the last command that you entered that contains the substring "ls", in my case that was "lsof ...". If the command that bash finds is what you're looking for, just hit Enter to execute it. You can also edit the command to suit your current needs before executing it (use the left and right arrow keys to move through it).

If you're looking for a different command, hit Ctrl+R again to find a matching command further back in the command history. You can also continue to type a longer substring to refine the search, since searching is incremental.

Note that the substring you enter is searched for throughout the command, not just at the beginning of the command." - http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/using-bash-history-more-efficiently

repository search

This is the best way I have found to search out an application when I am not sure the title.

Grep is just to remove anything that does not contain the term in the title or short description (lots of things might include the search term in the description, such as libraries used by the application)

perl -e 'my $in_comment = 0; while (<>) { $in_comment = 1 if m{\Q/*\E}; print if $in_comment; $in_comment = 0 if m{\Q*/\E}; }' *.cpp

#!/bin/bash if [ -n "$1" ] then firefox 'http://www.google.com/search?q="'$1'"' else firefox 'http://www.google.com' fi

Ive aliased this script as 'google' on my system and I can type 'google "search terms"' to open firefox with my search terms. My first post here, if there are any improvements to be made please let me know in the comments.

Search Google from the command line and return the first result.

Yep, now you can finally google from the command line!

Here's a readable version "for your pleasure"(c):

google() { # search the web using google from the commandline # syntax: google google query=$(echo "$*" | sed "s:%:%25:g;s:&:%26:g;s:+:%2b:g;s:;:%3b:g;s: :+:g") data=$(wget -qO - "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/web?v=1.0&q=$query")

title=$(echo "$data" | tr '}' '\n' | sed "s/.*,\"titleNoFormatting//;s/\":\"//;s/\",.*//;s/\\u0026/'/g;s/\\\//g;s/#39\;//g;s/'amp;/\&/g" | head -1)

url="$(echo "$data" | tr '}' '\n' | sed 's/.*"url":"//;s/".*//' | head -1)" echo "${title}: ${url} | http://www.google.com/search?q=${query}" }

Enjoy :)

Recursively search a directory tree for all .php .inc .html .htm .css .js files for a certain string

Use find to recursively make a list of all files from the current directory and downwards. The files have to have an extension of the ones listed. Then for every file found, grep it for 'searchString', returns the filename if searchString is found.
