ACK [1] is a 99% replacement for the grep and find combination. But not all commands are as obvious unfortunately.


Predefined types

 ack --php wfHook

Searches through all the php-files for the occurence of the text 'wfHook'.

txt files

ack UserName --type=text WikiTrace*.txt

Searches the txt files WikiTrace.txt for the occurence of Username.
