farting with the walkman on
I am mostly recovered from my week of being sick. I'm fairly certain I had the flu, and still have a cold on top of it, and most likely was experiencing caffeine withdrawals as well. It was a great time.
If you program at all, you need grep, the oldest command line tool on earth. Only problem is, grep is a lin/unix tool, so windows guys like me have to use an editor front end, like codewright or similar.
Grep only finds the stuff, I always wanted a find a replace, like I could do in perl. So I ended up writing a million and one perl scripts to find and replace just so.
This is also not efficient.
I want to be able to say on the command line:
find_and_replace 'fred' 'joe' *.c
Well, since I was too lazy to do it, someone else finally did.
Someone finally wrote my Find And Replace Tool, wittily called, FART.
Funny name, but wonderfully useful.
