suppose I have a folder which has hundreds of .js or .php files , and I'm trying to find this snippet: function json_decoder($json) { $comment = false; $out = '$x='; for ($i=0; $i<strlen($json); $i++) { if (!$comment) How to find this in folder?
Just do a text search through all the files? Any good text editor can do this, for instance. Or CLI in Linux, if you're using that. For instance, in Sublime (a text editor) you just do a Ctrl+Shift+F to search through all files in a given location (you provide what you're searching for, regex'es accepted, and where you're searching) and it will find all the files that contain that information, and list them in a clickable document (to go to each file).
