URGENT how do i find a line of code without opening each file

hi

ive just moved servers and copied the files over and database. but the script is sending out emails to an old email address.

for the life of me i cannot find the file that has the email address in it.

do i have to open them all?

god i hope not

 

What text editing software are you using? I know in DreamWeaver you can set the folder as a managed site and then search recursively through all the files to find a snippet.

 

i have dreamweaver cs5

 

Perfect. On the Files window ( displayed by default on the Coder layout, or press F8 if it is not there I think ) and then select Manage Sites... from the dropdown, New, navigate to the folder and select it. Then select that site from the dropdown.

Then when you press CTRL+F, in the "Find In" dropdown you can select "Entire Current Local Site" and click Find All ( you could also do this with some content to replace it.

Should help cut down on that mammoth task!

 

wow super, made short work of it but didnt find the bloody email address lol. its not in my db either,

where is the bugger hidding lol

here is the register page but no idea what it does when you click submit

 

From what I can tell it is navigating the page to this URL, where I would assume it performs PHP validation:
/system/index.php/Index/doEmployerRegister

If you can't find the email, try searching for the term "mail" and FindAll, you will have to look through a fair few results but that should catch either the PHP mail() function or PHPMailer Class.

 

find ./ | xargs grep "email"

 

why so hard? just use

mc

(apt-get install mc) in ubuntu

 

Cause the above works in almost every distro?

 

mcc works too

 

where do i put that lol

thanks for this help
