At synch.cc, we consult on systems migration to free or open source software, back-end and systems integration, and system and network security management.

Contact us for a systems and network security audit!

Have you thought of migrating to Open Source Software?

Though based in Cape Town, synch.cc manages and implements systems throughout South and Southern Africa for more than 10 years.

Replace text in files

find . -iname \*.suffix | sed 's/ /\\ /g' | sed 's/#/\#/g' | xargs

alternatively:sed -i 's#old#new#gi'

Find a string in files

grep -lir "search text" *

The -l switch: list (outputs only the names of files in which the text occurs (instead of each line containing the text)), the -i switch: case insensitive (ignores the case), and the -r: recurse directories (descends into subdirectories).

As code gets written, we from time to time post useful code-snippets in this section.

As this is a new section on the site, code will get ploughed back into here over time...

From site planning, strategic short and long-term site planning and analysis to design, Synch.cc guides you through the process of site design. Synch.cc can provides backend design, implementation and system design.
