I wanted to do some modelling of my home landscaping. Anyone know of
an application that does this (Linux-compatible of course)?
There are many software packages available for Windows, but I can't
seem to find any that are linux compatible. I thought to try my hand
at using Blender, but I'd
Looking for some guidance;
I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and
thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each
folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find
moe, if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need
grep -r greps all files recursively.
grep -l outputs only the names of files which contain matching text.
To move the folders, you would have to process that output to select the
directory, then move the directory. Probably a perl or shell scripting
task.
AFAIK grep has nothing so specific as

Oooh! A challenge! Here's my solution:
#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/toplevel/dir
find -type d | while read i
do
grep moe $i/* mv $i /path/to/destination || echo mv didn't work: $?
done

Hmmm, does the find execute concurrently with the grep? If it
does, then you're liable to confuse the hell out of

I like it. I didn't know about the
Interesting point. Three replies:
1) If you're mv'ing onto the same filesystem, the inodes will never
change, and it won't matter.
2) I imagine grep will only spit out a status (which is what the
parses) after it's finished running, though I'd have to verify that
empirically.
3) You can cheat,
Wups! Sorry -- I read your question wrong: Does *find* run
concurrently*. I'd had other concerns, and mis-read your question to fit
my thinking. D'oh! It's been my experience that find doesn't get
confused, it just gets miffed, and moves on.

Not an answer to the OP, but a follow-on.
So, you've worked out a magnificent one-liner solution to a
interesting and recurring task. How do you 'remember' your solution?
Do you create a file with scripts and comments?
Do you post it in a wiki?
A blog?
An IDE with snippets?
Do you remember it
