Find relatives
==============

# find string in file
find . -name MY_FILE_PATTERN | xargs grep 'MY_STRING'
# same as above, but just with the file name
find . -name "MY_FILE_PATTERN" -exec grep -l MY_STRING {} \;
# find string in file and give, with, before each file name, the number of time the MY_STRING appears in the file
find . -name "MY_FILE_PATTERN" | xargs grep 'MY_STRING' | awk -F: '{print $1}' | uniq -c
# less on a source file with syntax highlighting (need highlight : http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/highlight/en/highlight.html)
highlight -l -A SOURCE_FILE  | less -R
# find string in specified path and file pattern
find . -ipath './MY_DIRECTORY/FOOBAR/*/*.MY_EXTENSION' | xargs grep 'MY_STRING'
# open files in editor which string match in files
gedit `find . -ipath './MY_DIRECTORY/FOOBAR/*/*.MY_EXTENSION' | xargs grep 'MY_STRING' | awk -F: '{print $1}'`
# open files in editor which string match in files
find . -ipath './MY_DIRECTORY/FOOBAR/*/*.MY_EXTENSION' -exec perl -pi -e 's/MY_ORIG_STRING/MY_REPLACED_STRING/' {} \;

# replace string in files which strings match in files
find . -ipath './merlin-data/src/*/*.xml' -exec perl -pi -e 's/http:\/\/hibernate.sourceforge.net\//http:\/\/www.hibernate.org\/dtd\//' {} \;
# Another way to replace string in files 
perl -p -i -e 's/relativePath>../relativePath>..\/../g' `find ./ -name pom.xml`

# delete files recursively
$ find . -name .DS_Store -delete

#Find all those pesky files above 20mb
find . -size +20000k -exec du -h {} \;
