How to scan all files in a directory and subdirectories for a string or variable name. Okay so I needed to generate a list of files on my PC that contain the variable $license[xxxxx]. Whilst I knew I could write a PHP script to do this, I thought it’d be much quicker to let my PC do all the work using findstr. First, let’s explain what FINDSTR is and how it works. Findstr is a windows command you can use in the Windows Command Prompt (cmd / cmd.exe) to find out if a string exists in a defined file or in this case, list off all files containing a string. So I came up with this: Selec All Code:1 C:\Windows\system32>findstr /m /s /i "$license" C:\dev\www\* Just to explain what each of the toggles I used mean: /m = Only display the filename of each file found matching the search.

Want to increase visitor duration on your AV Arcade powered games site? I have the answer! And it is proven (totally legit, I’ll explain!) The mod is called the Random Game Mod.. It basically creates a link to a mystery ‘random game’. If you encourage users to click this link when feeling indecisive about a game, they will keep on clicking it over and over and over. Meaning they will spend far more time playing games on your site than they would’ve if they didn’t... Read More →
