TargetRecruit, líder mundial en soluciones de contratación y contratación de personal en una plataforma de nube de extremo a extremo, anunció su última mejora de productos para la dotación de personal sanitario. TargetRecruits ecosistema de aplicaciones de personal se extiende más allá de las funcionalidades de personal general para apoyar plenamente y asociarse con el personal de salud y contratación de empresas. Con casi una década liderando el personal y reclutando espacio, TargetRecruit reconoce los problemas más difíciles de hoy para los profesionales de la salud del personal. Para abordar estos desafíos de dotación de personal de la industria, TargetRecruits plataforma de nube ofrece un conjunto completo digital de las características de personal de salud incluyendo habilidades automatizadas de coincidencia y credenciales, gestión de contratos, facturación y programación de turnos. El reclutamiento y la retención deben mantenerse a la cabeza en el mercado de la salud, y es imprescindible que las agencias de dotación de personal transfieran sus operaciones actuales a una plataforma totalmente digital, dijo Reena Gupta, Directora Ejecutiva y Fundadora de TargetRecruit. Aunque nos hemos asociado con las principales agencias de personal de salud desde hace varios años, nos complace publicar nuestra plataforma ampliada especializada en servicios integrados y de cloud computing para los profesionales de la salud de todo tipo.

Como tal, la atención al paciente debe seguir siendo una prioridad. La adaptación a una tecnología basada en la nube automatizará este proceso y, en última instancia, adquirirá las habilidades necesarias para brindar atención de primer nivel. Credenciales 038 Calificación de puntuación Cuando se solicitan trabajos de atención médica, los solicitantes deben mantener licencias activas y certificaciones que deben ser verificadas antes de contratar. Al cambiar a una plataforma digital, las agencias eliminan el tiempo perdido manualmente verificando cientos de credenciales y evaluaciones, y pueden pasar rápidamente este proceso con confianza, de acuerdo y sin retrasar la colocación. Programación de turnos en línea El proceso de programación de servicios de salud es predominantemente manual. Los reclutadores llaman a toda su lista de candidatos para verificar la disponibilidad de turnos, luego hacen docenas de llamadas a los hospitales a las instalaciones para encontrar las necesidades. Y de nuevo a los candidatos para proporcionar y confirmar sus asignaciones. Un único sistema de plantilla y personal, cuando se utiliza en toda la empresa, puede ser una valiosa herramienta para asegurar que los turnos abiertos se llenen rápida y eficientemente. Contratos Elimine los procesos manuales y de papel completamente cuando se trabaja en contratos y colocación en un sistema. Con la creciente complejidad de los contratos de dotación de personal sanitario, las cuentas de atención sanitaria suelen estar divididas por ubicación, y en cada ubicación hay contratos diferentes, necesidades y procesos empresariales. Con un sistema basado en la nube, los reclutadores ahora pueden administrar todo tipo de contrato en cualquier momento y desde cualquier lugar. Facturación 038 Back Office De los miles de reclutadores que introducen manualmente horas y apuntalan varios procesos empresariales, su crítica para agilizar este proceso por completo.

Capítulo 1. Antes de Hack Cuando reciba una computadora nueva, iPhone o un archivo de computadora, IPod, el dispositivo viene preconfigurado en la forma en que Apple se siente será de mayor utilidad para el mayor número de sus clientes. Por lo general, Apple obtiene la experiencia inmediata, por lo que los productos de Apple se configuran rápidamente y son fáciles de usar con los valores predeterminados de fábrica. El problema es que no eres un usuario medio de Apple sin rostro, eres un individuo, y es probable que quieras hacer que tu producto de Apple se ajuste a tus deseos en lugar de conformarse a la forma en que Apple te propuso usar el producto. Esta es la esencia del hacking: conseguir que tus cosas hagan lo que quieras de la manera que quieras. Afortunadamente, las cosas de tecnología tiende a ser casi infinitamente hackable, personalizable, y extensible, lo que significa que usted puede ser realmente el innecesario señor de todos sus gadgets de Apple. Dicho esto, hay algunos pasos iniciales que harán sus incursiones más fácil y más seguro. Los hacks en este capítulo son donde comenzar. HACK 01: Copia de seguridad ahora con la utilidad de disco Cuando se trata de hacer una copia de seguridad de sus datos, las opciones son abundantes. Este hack revela cómo hacer una copia exacta de su disco duro con Apples Free Disk Utility. Hay una vieja broma que dice que no es una cuestión de si su disco duro se bloquea, es una cuestión de cuándo. Lo cual es indudablemente cierto: dado el tiempo suficiente, todo fracasará. Esta es una certeza que muchos de nosotros han evitado ya sea por suerte tonta o la compra de una máquina nueva cada par de años. Esto significa que las personas que no han sufrido una catástrofe informática se sienten inmunes a la posibilidad de pérdida masiva de datos y se comportan en consecuencia. Si eres una de las personas presumidas que piensan que la destrucción de datos no intencionada nunca te sucederá, ten en cuenta que en tus manos estás sosteniendo el Gran Libro de Apple Hacks y te das cuenta de que las cosas son diferentes ahora. Una vez que empiece a hackear, está implícitamente tomando la oportunidad de que algo podría salir mal. Así que respalde tus archivos. Si está ejecutando Leopard, puede dejar que Time Machine haga el trabajo pesado si está ejecutando una versión anterior de OS X o si no le gusta Time Machine por alguna razón, puede probar una de estas estrategias. Copia de seguridad con la utilidad de disco Hay muchas opciones cuando se trata de copias de seguridad de sus archivos. Una copia de seguridad podría ser tan simple como una copia de sus datos en el mismo disco duro o tan complejo como un disco duro seguro almacenado en una caja a prueba de fuego y resistente al agua con guardias de seguridad a tiempo completo. Este hack cubre un medio terreno de tipo: los datos almacenados en un disco duro independiente, pero un disco duro que todavía se puede utilizar en el día a día. Qué no-costo, incluido-en-cada-Mac aplicación se puede utilizar para hacer una copia de seguridad de todo incluido Por qué, el bien llamado Disk Utility (ver Figura 1-1.) Figura 1-1. Su difícil de decir por mirar, pero la utilidad de disco es una poderosa herramienta de copia de seguridad La cosa confusa para algunos es la terminología de Disk Utilities. En lugar de llamar al proceso algo reconocible para el tipo promedio, Disk Utility llama a las copias que crea imágenes. Estas imágenes son mucho más útiles que una simple copia de arrastrar y soltar. Disk Utility se las arregla para mantener los permisos, archivos ocultos de Unix y una plétora de otros datos invisibles, pero muy importantes, durante todo el proceso. El resultado de toda esta copia cuidadosa es que la copia es, cuando se restaura, exactamente igual que el original. Primero lo primero: usar la utilidad de disco para copiar su unidad de inicio, tendrá que arrancar desde una fuente alternativa. La fuente podría ser un disco de instalación de OS X, otro Mac en modo de disco FireWire o incluso otra partición. Figura 1-2. No puedes duplicar tu disco de arranque actual Sugerencia rápida: puedes hacer más que instalar desde tu DVD de instalación de OS X Si arrancas desde un DVD de instalación, no tienes que instalar OS X. Espera hasta que tu Mac esté funcionando y access Disk Utility from the drop-down Applications menu. From here, you can repair permissions, erase and partition entire drives, set up a Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Drives (RAID) scheme, format drives in a variety of formats, and duplicate your main hard drive (see Figure 1-2 ). If youre using Leopard and Time Machine, starting up from an install disk is the recommended way to restore your disk if something very icky has happened. Be aware that running a Mac from a DVD is much slower than from a hard drive so be prepared to wait. Once your Mac has been restarted from an alternate source, you can go about the business of copying your hard drive. Select the drive you want to back up, and click the New Image button. Once the selection is made, youll get a chance to name the image and select where you want the image to live (Figure 1-3 ). Figure 1-3. This is your big chance to name the image and decide where the backup will reside Youre also presented with some other options. Clicking the arrows next to the Image Format label gives you some exclusionary options. You can pick one of the following: Quick Tip: Avoid CD/DVD Confusion If you want your backup to go to a CD or DVD, you dont have to choose the CD/DVD master option to burn the image. That option exists to make a duplicate of CDs and DVDs. Backing up your complete hard drive to a DVD will be quite a trick since it likely consumes far more data than a DVD can hold. If youre determined to use DVDs as a backup option, youll have to devise a method to systematically store all your data on DVDs. Reserve one DVD for the System, one for your media files, etc. Incidentally, heres a useful trick, now that youve been introduced to Disk Utility. You can use the CD/DVD master option to create a copy of a CD or DVD that is required to be in your optical drive when a particular program is running (games do this all the time). Simply create the image, and park it on your regular disk drive. Once mounted, said image will likely fool the onerous program into thinking the required disk is present. The benefits are obvious: you can save the actual disk, the annoying noise from your optical drive will be gone, and your hard drive is much faster than an optical drive. There are limits, though. This sounds great for movie DVDs right Not so fast. While you can create the necessary copy, trying to get OS X to play the movie from your hard drive wont work because of copyright restrictions. Your choices come down to read only, compressed . or read/write . Since we are backing up an entire disk for archival reasons, the two best choices are either read-only or compressed. Choose read-only if you have copious amounts of backup space and want the process to go a little faster choose compressed to save some precious hard drive space. Note Read-only and compressed make sense but what about read/write . Creating a disk image with read/write generates an image that, when mounted, can be manipulated. Its a very useful feature if you want to add files at a later date or trouble-shoot a software problem, but since youre after a rock-solid immutable backup, its not the ideal option in this instance. Finally, you can chose between an encrypted image and one that anyone can use. Choosing AES-128 (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption results in Disk Utility asking for a password and requiring said password before you can get at the stored data. With that in mind, either go unencrypted or take pains to make sure the password is not lost. Saving the password in the Keychain is the default option, but this is one case where that isnt enough. Youll need this image in case of catastrophic failure and that means you might not be able access Keychain. Hence, if you choose to password-protect your data, write your password down somewhere safe. A backup you cant access is exactly as useful as no backup at all. Once all the choices have been made, click Save, and Disk Utility will create a disk image containing all of your valuable data (see Figure 1-4 ). Figure 1-4. Protecting your data from prying eyes 10.5 Only: Leopard is Even More Secure Leopard takes security up another level by adding AES-256 encryption. The encryption is tougher to crack (your password choice will be the weak link) but takes significantly longer to encode. Now that youve done all this work, youre ready for the worst, or at least a sudden complete hard-drive failure. Once that happens, youll want to know how to get your precious data back in a usable format. The process is deliciously simple: open up Disk Utility, click on the Restore option, and drag the disk image you want to use as your source to the Source field. Choose the drive you want the disk to be restored to, and drag it to the (predictable) Restore field. There is a bit of oddness about Disk Utility in Tiger that isnt present on Leopard. In Tiger, for some unknown reason, in some instances you can only drag the disk to the Restore field from the Disk Utility window (see Figure 1-5 ). Figure 1-5. Disk Utility oddity All that is left to do is sit back and wait for Disk Utility to complete the restoration process. Be aware that restoring a drive can take a substantial amount of time, and youll lose any changes since youve created the disk image, so restoring from a Disk Image should be only attempted after other repair methods have failed. Thats Great, But Ive Got One Mac and No External Hard Drive The weakest form of backup is the backup that exists on the same drive as the rest of your data. In the event of a physical hard drive failure or even a mistyped command, backup data stored on the same disk as the one you are backing up can be lost. That said, the duplication of information provides some level of security, and if your options are limited and your hard drive is spacious enough, a second copy of all your data on the hard drive is a worthwhile investment of time and gigabytes. Quick Hack: Selectively Back up with Disk Utility While this hack reveals a method for backing up the entire drive, it might occur to you that creating images of individual files or folders instead of the entire drive might be very useful. Disk Utility wont copy any file until it is ensconced in a folder, so once your file or files are folderized . choose FileNewDisk Image from folder from the Disk Utility pull-down menu, and create images with reckless abandon. Unfortunately you cant create an image of the disk and store it on the disk with Disk Utility because, while Disk Utility is attempting to image the disk, it will also be attempting to image the image that is imaging the disk. Another tactic is needed. First, youll need to create at least two partitions on your hard drive and then copy the partition where your precious data resides to the newly created partition following the steps outlined earlier. For information on nondestructive partitioning, see HACK 66: Nondestructively Partition Your Hard Drive . Figure 1-6. A very quick backup Quick Tip: Only Back up the Home Folder This hack describes ways to back up your entire hard drive, but with the way OS X is laid out, most of the information that is important to you resides in your Home folder. If youve dutifully saved your various install disks, you can get by with only duplicating your Home folder (and the Home folders of other users of the computer). Backing up only the Home folder isnt as comprehensive, but offers the benefits of being much quicker and easier to implement. Using Disk Utility, simply right-click the home folder (or any folder you want to back up for that matter), and select Create Archive (see Figure 1-6 ). HACK 02: Create an Emergency Bootable Flash Drive A full reinstall of a backup isnt necessary every time something goes wrong often problems can be fixed with your favorite Disk Utility or a copy of free software found on the Web. This hack shows you how to create an emergency boot volume with the fix-it applications of your choice. It would be nice to be able to burn a startup Mac OS X DVD with repair tools of your choice on the disk, but that is a very tricky thing to do. Some high-level Apple developers have the tools to pull it off, but those without access to the tools, you cant create a bootable DVD. Since creating a bootable DVD is out of the question, it is time to think of a second option. How about flash memory Flash memory is ideal for this hack because it is not volatile (the contents dont change if the chip is powered down), can be found everywhere (thumb drives, iPod nanos, and camera cards all employ flash), and is relatively cheap. (A 4 GB thumb drive sufficient for our purposes retailed for 20.44 on Amazon at the time of writing.) Flash also has one important advantage over a DVD in this case, it can be written to during the boot process, which is the primary sticking point about creating a bootable DVD. Quick Tip: Dont Reach for the Emergency Tools too Soon If your Mac wont boot, it isnt the most efficient idea to immediately reach for an alternative boot disk. Most of the time, booting into safe mode (power up the Mac and hold the Shift key as soon as you hear the start-up chime) will fix the problem. Safe mode forces your Mac to check the directory and tells the Mac to ignore kernel extensions, fonts, or startup items that may be the source of the problem. After a successful boot into safe mode, restart your Mac, and everything should be back to normal. If safe mode fails to resolve the problem, Apple recommends booting from a disk and running Disk Utility. If youre loath to spend the time required to boot from a DVD, or your drive refuses to work, you can consider trying a single-user mode boot. Hold down the Command key (better known as the key) and s while starting, and the Mac will boot to a command line. Type fsck - fy followed by the Return key, and hope for the best (the y flag tells fsck you want to answer yes to all questions, and the f flag forces fsck to run). fsck will check your files and do its fsck ing best to fix them. Type reboot to restart the machine normally. This is a safe process, but it may generate some false error messages when your Mac restarts. Before getting started, it is important to note that this process is much easier with Intel-based Macs. USB thumb drives are everywhere. USB flash drive readers can be found as cheap as 5, and you probably already have one built into your printer. This ubiquity of USB flash devices is great if you have an Intel Mac but doesnt do much for you if you have a PowerPC-based Mac. While Intel Macs can boot off of USB with aplomb, PowerPC Macs cant boot from USB. Well, that isnt strictly true. By meddling with the firmware, it is possible to boot at least some PowerPC-based Macs from USB drives, but the results are far from ideal. The cheapest way to boot a PowerPC-based Mac from flash is to obtain a FireWire card reader. While much pricier than USB card readers, youll not only be able to boot your PowerPC-based Mac from flash, youll be able to transfer pictures in record time. One option for a FireWire card reader is produced by Lexar (lexar ), though there are undoubtedly others. Creating a Bootable Disk The goal is clear: devise a method to slim down the system folder from a bloated all-inclusive mess to a svelte, useful copyable size. There are obstacles in the way, though. As mentioned before, just dragging and dropping isnt going to cut it. Not only will that method not maintain symbolic links and permissions, it will also fail to catch invisible files and folders. To perform this hack, well need a few things: A partitioned drive or flash media with at least 4 GB of space A willingness to use SuperDuper or Terminal and rsync . Warning Dont try to pull off this hack using your current startup disk as a guinea pig (i. e. erasing huge chunks of your drive). The best-case scenario is that youll still be able to boot your computer with a loss of functionality the worst-case scenario is that youll have a machine that wont boot and no emergency boot disc. Quick Tip: Superduper SuperDuper is a tool you should have in your OS X toolbox. A download of SuperDuper yields cloning abilities at no cost and for 27.95, youll get access to the advanced features of SuperDuper If youre not using Leopard, SuperDuper is a great way to add Time Machine-like functionality with a minimal investment. You can download SuperDuper at shirt-pocket/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription. html Time to get started creating something bootable. If you use SuperDuper. youll note that you have only one option if you want your system to end up on the target disk. That is, youll have to clone the entire drive. If you have the space, the replication doesnt matter, youll be deleting files as soon as the process is over. Think of it as a momentary inconvenience. You arent left out if you simply dont have the space to clone your drive: rsync can come to the rescue. While SuperDuper insists on cloning the whole drive, rsync can selectively clone folders. It is a little more work in the Terminal but the process is less drive space-intensive. Note You can use scripts with SuperDuper. so a script to clone just selected parts of the drive is possible. By the time you wrote the script, if you were so inclined, you could have accomplished the task with rsync. If you find yourself repetitively using SuperDuper. it is well worth your time to write a script to free you from repetitive tasks. Before going further, take this moment to inspect your target disks to ensure they are ready for the process. The things to be aware of are the partitioning scheme used and the Ownership and Permissions settings. For the partition scheme, youll want to choose the appropriate scheme for your particular Mac. For Power PC-based Macs, the choice is Apple Partition Map (APM), while Intel-based Macs prefer the Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) partition scheme. Determine which partition schemes your disk is using, and change them if necessary using Disk Utility. Just one more step to fully prepare for this hack: checking the Permissions for the target disk. By default, OS X ignores ownership on disks connected through FireWire and USB but that isnt an option for a bootable drive. Right-click the disk(s) youll copy to and choose Get Info. Finally, uncheck the box next to Ignore ownership on this volume (see Figure 1-7 ). Figure 1-7. In this case, ignoring ownership is a bad idea Quick Tip: Hey, its the Terminal If youve used the Terminal before, rsync will exhibit the behavior you expect. If you havent used it before, the commands, options, and bleakness of the interface might leave you a little confused. The Terminal has too much in it to fit in a little sidebar, so check out Chapter 4 for a more detailed discussion of the Terminal and how to use it. Quick Hack: Just Stick with APM While Intel Macs officially require a GUID-partitioned drive, reality differs quite a bit from Apples position. Intel Macs have no problems booting from the more venerable APM scheme. That inclusive behavior might change with a future software update or OS release, so the safest route to take is the one recommended by Apple. On the other hand, changing a disks partitioning scheme requires partitioning the disk, something you might not want to do, so dont be afraid to stick with APM. If youre using SuperDuper for this hack, the first step is easy: fire up SuperDuper. and choose the drive to copy and the destination you want the copy to occupy (see Figure 1-8 ). Figure 1-8. SuperDuper gets to work Once the copying process is complete, you really ought to remove any unnecessary (for booting) files. This can seem an impossible task. Sorting through all your files and culling the superfluous would be impossible even if you were blessed with an uncanny ability to tell what each file did simply by looking at the filename. As fate (or Apple programmers) would have it, it turns out that only a few folders and files are necessary to boot your Mac. It further turns out that these files and folders are invisible. So the chances of deleting the bin folder accidentally are zero. All that means is that once youve copied your drive with SuperDuper. you can delete everything but the System folder, and the drive will boot your Mac. Be aware that if you just wantonly pitch everything but the System folder, your Mac will boot, but you wont be able to do much. After all, all the applications are gone. The easiest thing to do is to pitch everything but the System folder, but recreate an Applications folder on the bootable drive and place copies of the applications you wish to use in case of sudden nastiness there. This will work flawlessly for programs you install via drag and drop. Other programs rely on more invasive installs the likelihood that these programs will continue to function without complaint is small. Now that your system is sufficiently slim to fit on 4 GB of flash media, it is time to put the system on the flash drive. Select the drive, and choose Get Info. Ensure the box is checked next to Ignore Ownership on this volume, and use SuperDuper to copy your slimmed-down emergency drive with your hand-selected applications to the flash drive. Once SuperDuper is finished, you are in possession of a bootable flash drive suitable for dire situations. Using SuperDuper is a great option if you have the required drive space and the time to fiddle with multiple copies. If you dont, then rsync is the answer youre looking for. With rsync. you can specify which folders to copy or exclude, and write everything directly to the flash drive. The downside is that youll have forgo the easy-to-use GUI of SuperDuper and rely on the Terminal. The tempting thing to think is that you can simply copy the System folder with rsync and be done with the problem. That isnt the case necessary folders like /usr and /bin dont actually reside in the System folder as you might expect. Instead, the required folders reside at the root level of your directory. You just cant see them because they are invisible. Hence a more encompassing approach is needed. The solution is to tell rsync to copy the entire disk except the folders that arent needed. If youve been playing along, you know that the only folder you need that you can actually see is the System folder. On a typical Mac, at the root level, youll have just a few folders. My machine looks like Figure 1-9 . Figure 1-9. A semi-typical Mac folder system There are three directories we want to exclude from the copying. By default, rsync copies everything. To exclude specific directories (folders), rsync has to be made aware of your wishes. A typical rsync command to complete the operation will look something like: The command is a little cryptic to the average user, so a look at what each bit of instruction is doing is required. The sudo command authenticates the user to make sure you have sufficient privileges to run the process ( rsync needs to run as root). Leave this step out, and youll get a ton of messages telling you about insufficient privileges. The rsync part of the command line invokes the program. It might not a have a GUI interface but rsync is still a powerful program. Right after rsync are a collection of flags that indicate various options involved in running rsync. The - av you see is really two flags mashed together for ease of typing. The - a tells rsync to copy the directories recursively and preserve things like symbolic links. The - v notifies rsync that you want some feedback while it is doing the job. This isnt strictly necessary to get the job done, but at least youll see what files are being copied. A little further out the line, the single slash, /. indicates the root of your filesystem, while the /Volumes/Emerboot identifies the target you want to copy to. Mac OS X puts all its disks and disk images into the /Volumes directory, which is a little confusing because thats under the root level. Just think of it as a way to keep track of the things in the upper left corner of your Finder windows. The rsync program wont try to copy in that directory, so you dont really have to worry about it. Finally the three --exclude declarations tell rsync what not to copy, a critical factor when youre trying to save space. In this case, you are telling rsync to leave the /Users . /Applications and /Library folders alone. Hit return, and let rsync do all the hard work of duplicating bits and bytes, and when the process is complete, youll have a destination disk with the necessary files for booting your Mac. Create an Applications folder (FileNew folder) on your new boot drive, drop the applications you want to use when things go wrong into your new emergency drive, and youre ready to go Using the Emergency Boot Disk With all that work behind you, you now have a bootable flash disk. When booting off this disk, some disconcerting things will happen. The Dock will be full of transparent question marks (remember, you didnt copy all the space-hogging programs when you were making the disk), and your Mac will launch into the Setup Assistant. Ignore the Setup Assistant (you can delete Setup Assistant. app from your system folder if you dont want to deal with it) or use the Finder to force quit if necessary. Navigate to wherever you chose to store your emergency repair programs, and run them until your Macs built-in drive is returned to a working state. HACK 03: Install Developer Tools Installing Xcode Xcode uses an installer program, so installing it isnt much of a trick. There arent an abundance of customization options, so just click the installer, and let it go. You can minimize even that step by installing Xcode when youre installing OS X. While the install is easy, finding Xcode can be a chore. You know youve installed Xcode, but it isnt in the Applications folder where the tools you use every day usually reside. This can cause more than a little confusion after recommending a friend install Xcode, he later confided he tried to install the suite again and again. He could tell something was happening because the free space on his hard drive shrank with every install (a standard Xcode install requires 2.8 GB of hard drive space), but he couldnt find Xcode. Instead of being installed in the Applications folder (where youd expect), Xcode is installed at the root level of your hard drive, under Developers (where developers expect it). To get at Xcode, use the Finder and have fun exploring. Quick Tip: Become a Developer Why not go all in and become an Apple Developer While there are various price points to joining the legion of Apple Developers, the basic membership is free. Just by signing up, you get access to gigabytes of reference materials and free software. For more information visit developer. apple/ If youve visited the sign-up page for Apple Developers, youve learned that memberships are tiered. The free sign up gets you access to interesting software and the previously mentioned vast library of knowledge but doesnt allow access to prerelease builds of the next version of OS X. To get in on the juicy stuff, you can either sign up as a student (if youre a student) for 99 or go for a select membership (499). HACK 04: Understand Your User Account Before Mac OS X was released, there wasnt really a concept of a user or account in the Macintosh environment. This hack introduces you to what it means to have an account and what this business of a Home directory is all about. When Mac OS X first appeared, a lot of old-school Mac users were aghast at the concept of user accounts, especially when they were the only ones using their computer. Why go through all the hassle when Im the only one who uses my computer they asked. The complaints only intensified as users were asked to enter an administrator password for access to certain files, sometimes even denied access to settings and files on their very own computersthe gall of it The reasoning is twofold: to protect you from yourself and to support Mac OS Xs multiuser environment. The concept of protecting you from yourself might at first blush appear intrusive, but weve all had an instance in which weve deleted an innocent file from our OS 9 System folder, only to discover our idiocy when our system didnt reboot, our printer didnt print, or our modem didnt sizzle. In this regard, OS X has your back crucial files necessary for everyday operation are protected from overzealous removal. The multiuser environment of OS X is based on technology thats been around for a while in the Unix world: a system of checks and balances that stop your kid sister from gleefully deleting that Photoshop file youve been working on all weekend. Whether youre the only user isnt a concern protection from the inside (yourself or your kid sister) and protection from the outside (malicious crackers, viruses, and Trojans) becomes paramount. While a determined user can delete any file on his OS X machine with enough effort, Apple has wisely made it difficult to do so through Mac OS X. Whats in a Name When creating an account (System PreferencesAccountsNew User), either the initial account upon installing Mac OS X, or an additional accountyoure prompted for both your Name (e. g. John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt) and something called a Short Name, as shown in Figure 1-10 . Figure 1-10. Selecting a Name and Short Name Quick Tip: Keep Xcode Up to Date If youve installed the Xcode that came on your original install disks, you should have few, if any, problems using it. However, if youve upgraded from one version of Mac OS X to another, you need to upgrade Xcode separately, or you wont be able to access all of the functionality that Xcode provides. The safest thing to do is to stay up to date with the Xcode releases on ADC. Your Short Name is your actual username, or login name, the name by which your computer knows you. It is usually three to eight characters long, composed of letters or numbers. While Mac OS X attempts to choose a Short Name for you based upon what you entered as your Name, it doesnt do a particularly good job if your name isnt as simple as Sam Smith. And, trust me, you dont want to spend your days being known by your computer as johnjacobjingleheimerschmidt. Choose something short and quick to type, like john, johnj, or schmidt. Heres why. Your Home Directory Your home directory, shown in Figure 1-11. is where youll be keeping all your stuff. In it youll find special directories for your documents, pictures, movies, and settings (thats what the Library is). Of course, youre not forced to organize your stuff this way, but it is a good convention. Feel free to settle in, create new folders, and shuffle things about. Its generally a good idea not to throw out the special folders because the operating system and its applications often use them and expect them to be there. In particular, dont touch your Library folder its the home of your preferences, settings, and other pieces used by particular applications. Figure 1-11. Finder view of a typical home directory If you chose john as your Short Name, your home directory is Macintosh HDUsersjohn. By creating a central place for all your important data, Mac OS X ensures easy backup or deployment on other machines. Instead of having to single out your favorite control panels or extensions from OS 9, you can simply back up your home directory. When youre ready to restore, simply copy it over to the same location, and your environment (iTunes music library, Desktop pictures, added software tweaks, etc.) takes effect the next time you log in. From the command lines point of view, your home directory (again, assuming your Short Name is john) is /Users/john . Youll sometimes see it referred to on the command line as the symbol. Thats a shortcut that saves you from having to type your full login name when you refer to your home directory. So, /Documents actually refers to /Users/john/Documents (Macintosh HDUsersjohnDocuments in the Finder). Whos the Boss As the primary user of your computer (or at least as the user you created when you installed the system), youre automatically afforded administrative privileges, which means you can install just about any software, modify settings that affect how Mac OS X functions, and create and delete other accounts. Needless to say, if you dont want that kid sister messing up your computer, you shouldnt make her an administrative user. Give administrative access only to those people (read: accounts) that truly need it. Deleting an Account Deleting an account under Mac OS X is easy using the Accounts System Preferences pane (System PreferencesAccountsDelete User). This removes the account and disables the associated home directory. Deleted accounts, however, do not have to be completely forgotten. If you take a moment to actually read the confirmation dialog shown in Figure 1-12. you can specify the fate of the soon-to-be-deleted accounts home directory. Figure 1-12. Options for deletion HACK 05: Become an Administrator for a Moment Your Mac does its best to protect you from yourself and your family by requiring authentication, both in the GUI and on the command line, when youre about to do something potentially problematic. OS X, being a multiuser Unix system at its heart, tries to prevent you (or your family) from doing anything that might adversely affect your Mac. It does so by denying access to particular files that keep your system running and disallowing actions that it considers potentially harmful. Every now and again, however, you need to install a piece of software or touch a vital Unix configuration file to get something done. Before it lets you do so, Mac OS X requires that you authenticate yourself as an administrative user, known in Unix parlance as root. Desktop Root While most applications can be installed simply by dragging them into the Applications folder, some require a little more tomfoolery. Application and package installers often need to create folders, drop files into place, and adjust configuration settings in restricted parts of the operating system. At these times, youre either not allowed to continue if youre not listed as an administrative user of the system (take a look at the System Preferences Users pane) or prompted for your password if you are. Figure 1-13 shows a typical Authenticate dialog. Figure 1-13. The Authenticate dialog Youll notice that there is a Details arrow button in the window. Clicking this will let you see exactly which application is requesting the use of the password. After you type in your password, the Installer continues. In effect, youve become an administrator with full power over your system, if only for a moment. Youve then granted the Installer similar power to do what it needs to do. Warning Whenever you authenticate yourself to an application, realize that its going to fiddle with your system, and make sure you have some idea what its trying to do. Read the notices displayed by installers carefully. Youll also encounter times when you need to authenticate yourself to make a configuration change in System Preferences or the like. If youre unable to change some settings that seem as if they should be editable, look around the window for a little lock icon. If its locked (see Figure 1-14 ), you might need to unlock it (click on the lock icon) and authenticate yourself. Figure 1-14. Locked settings If you feel the need to lock the settings again when youre done, click the lock again. PLIST files are strewn all over your Mac, but chances are you never see them. Thats too bad: PLIST files offer one of the most direct ways to hack your machine. Spend a few moments with this hack, and discover techniques to conquer those PLIST files. PLIST is short for property list, and the files are the main method used by Mac OS X (and some other operating systems) to organize data so that is accessible by programs and structured enough that you can generate your own if need be. That very brief explanation doesnt really say much, but the explanation of what PLIST files actually do is a little dense. If youre really interested in the functionality of PLIST files, check out developer. apple/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man5/plist.5.html or type man plist into the Terminal. PLIST Files for Hackers When you are bending your machine to your will, the most frequent PLIST files youll be mucking with are the ones that store the default values of parameters for various programs. These can range from default colors to default behaviors. These files are typically found in the LibraryPreferences folder of your Home directory. Tweaking these files can yield unexpected functionality and is mostly harmless. If you screw one up, you can always just drag the PLIST file to the trash, and a new one will be generated. Of course youll lose your preference set for that program, so the better way (as with all hacking when possible) is to back up the file so youll have a ready-made replacement. There is more than one way to access PLIST files. The quickest is the Terminal, via the default command. An example will help. Some programs can be made to display a Debug menu (most cant), and iCal is one of these. For most of us, an iCal Debug menu is just a distraction, but for heavy iCal users, a Debug menu can be very useful. Time to add the Debug menu: Quit iCal if necessary. Fire up Terminal (ApplicationsUtilitiesTerminal). At the prompt, type: defaults write com. apple. iCal IncludeDebugMenu 1 Figure 1-15. Some may find this list useful The Terminal is great when you know specifically what you want to change, but not so useful if you just want to know what you can change. For this, you need the property list. As mentioned in the beginning of this section, youll usually find the PLIST files you want to hack in the Library folder of your home directory. The specific path for the iCal property list Im using for an example is /Library/Preferences/com. apple. ical. plist . Once youve navigated to the file, open it with a property list editor. If youve worked through HACK 03: Install Developer Tools . you have a powerful PLIST editor installed on your Mac already. It is called (without much originality) Property List Editor. You can find it under /Developer/Applications . or just double-click on the PLIST file to open it, and see all your options (see Figure 1-16 ). Figure 1-16. That is a bunch of choices You can change any of the lines you see when the file is opened. Most of the lines dont mean much to you (or me), but some have obvious functionality. Changing the number on the line delete todos after from 30 to 60 tells iCal to keep your todos for 60 days. So now you are armed with a command-line method and a program to tweak PLIST files. It turns out you can also touch up PLIST files with a text editor. In the days before Tiger rolled out, you could just open a PLIST file with a text editor directly, but now the files are stored in binary format. To open a PLIST in a text editor, youll have to convert it first. The easiest way to convert said PLIST file The Terminal. iCals PLIST has been abused enough for now, so try poking around in Safaris bookmarks. The location of this file is /Library/Safari/Bookmarks. plist . Since it is smart to work off a copy, right-click the file, and choose Duplicate from the contextual menu. Convert the file with the command line: Here the plutil command invokes the property list utility, - convert xml1 (thats the letters x-m-l followed by the number 1) tells plutil to convert the property list to XML, and the rest is just the path to the file. Once the command has run, navigate to the location of the file with Finder, right-click and choose Open WithOther, and pick Text Edit. The formerly unreadable PLIST is now easily understandable (see Figure 1-17 ). Figure 1-17.

TextSoap is designed for Mac OS X 10.5, and a single-user license costs 39.95. There is a TextSoap for Windows, which costs 26.95. Find out about it here. Automator (Mac) Link You can tell it to rename a large group of files, have it resize a batch of photos to fit in your iPhoto slideshow, automatically create iCal events, and do other things that can simplify your workflow. And you don8217t need to know a thing about programming to control Automator 8211 just drag and drop commands in the interface to create your own Automator Workflows. Automator can create actions for you. An action performs a discrete task, such as opening a file, cropping an image, or sending a message. A workflow is a number of actions in a particular sequence when the workflow executes, data is piped from one action to the next until the desired result is achieved. Automator was introduced in Mac OS X version 10.4. It does not run on earlier systems. You can repeat a workflow for a specified number of times or a specified time duration and this is the best part. You can also create more useful Automator workflows with actions for RSS feeds, iSight camera video snapshots, PDF manipulation, and much more. Automator actions that can be downloaded from Apple8217s download page here 27 . Advanced Find and Replace (Windows) Link Advanced Find and Replace 29 serves as a fine replacement of the default find and replace function in Windows. It8217s fast, easy to use and a great time-saver for programmers. This powerful utility lets you perform text searches on your local computer as if you were using a Web-based search engine. It is for Windows only and runs on Windows 9x/NT/2000/Me/XP/2003/Vista. Of course, it allows you to search multiple documents (including MS Office documents) and batch replace text in them. The utility supports Perl-style regular expressions (tempting, isn8217t it) and saves results in XML format. Advanced Find and Replace also supports the use of command-line parameters, for people who dislike working with GUIs. The program also allows you to replace simple and multi-line strings. The documentation is also awesome, with good examples to help you understand how things work. In short, if you need to find and replace, you need this program. It8217s fast, simple yet powerful. One computer license for a 21-days license to use at home will cost you 29. TextSpresso (Mac, Win) Link TextSpresso 31 21 helps in cleaning and processing text on both Mac and Windows. Its spontaneous interface and feature set compliment each other. It has simply awesome filters to use e. g. MultiFilter, pattern matching, regular expression, sorting, and BASIC Scripts. If some of its pre built features are against your liking then you can simply create one to suit your own requirements. It is good at fast, multithreaded batch processing of files. One of the features which I like is that you can view and edit the text you8217re cleaning without a separate application. Another feature which you get from this small tool is 100 levels of undo per document which is great. It is a great text editor too. Another feature which you will feel like using is unicode text system with support for translation to/from dozens of character encodings. For Mac you require Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher and for windows you need Windows (98/ME/2000/XP). Its cost starts at 25. PowerGREP (Windows) Link PowerGrep 33 comes with a 8220three-month unconditional money-back guarantee.8221 You can quickly search text and binary files, compressed archives, MS Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PDF files, OpenOffice documents, Lotus spreadsheets, Zip files and more on a network and PC. Regular expressions can be used to conveniently specify text to search for. The best part is that you can search for binary data as well as words and phrases. After searching and replacing, you have the option to preview the results without modifying any files. You also benefit from flexible backup and undo options, which are icing on the cake. PowerGrep runs on Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista. One other feature I like is being able to save PowerGREP actions and invoke them from the command line to automate recurring tasks. Developers can integrate PowerGREP actions and results with enterprise software through PowerGREP8217s open XML file formats. I personally think the price is somewhat on the high side, though. The cost is 149. A trial version can be downloaded here 34 . MultiFind (Windows) Link MultiFind allows you to search multiple files by text string, binary data, regular expressions, file size, file date and more. After you have replaced strings in a file, you can make backup copies, too. You can conduct multiple search and replace operations at the same time, with each result appearing on a separate tab. MultiFind runs on Windows 2000/XP/Vista. Its tightly packed layout makes it easy to see all options for a single search and replace operation in one window. A single PC license for a 21-days trial version costs 14.95. TextCrawler (Windows) Link TextCrawler 36 18 enables you to instantly find and replace words and phrases across multiple files and folders. It8217s fast, easy to use, and its regular expression engine allows you to perform sophisticated searches, conduct batch operations, extract text from files and more. The extensions supported include TXT, LOG, HTM, CSS, PHP, JS, CSV, INI and STR. Sadly, DOC is not supported. If you are a pro with regular expressions, then working with this application will be a dream and overall very productive. The interface is as simple as it gets. TextCrawler is supported by Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista. Its sole drawback, in my view, is the lack of support for DOC files. TextCrawler is freeware. You can download it here 37 . Quick Search amp Replace (Windows) Link 38 With Quick Search amp Replace, replacing text in a group of documents, usually a tedious chore, works like a charm. You can even search previous results, thus saving you from having to start all over again. Search results can further be filtered by size and last modification date. The undo and backup features make file modification tasks easy, and you can even automate your search and replace tasks. Like Google Book Search, Quick Search amp Replace highlights the words and phrases you searched for in the results. You can search files by phrase, multi-line (one or several adjacent lines in a document) and regular expressions. The feature I like is being able to save search results for later use. Quick Search amp Replace is freeware and is supported by Windows XP and Vista. You can download it here 39 . Text Monkey PRO (Windows) Link Text Monkey 41 23 has dozens of useful text processing functions designed to save you time and effort on all types of editing tasks.

As with some of the other tools reviewed here, this one also allows you to search previous results . thus saving precious time. The replace function lets you replace text, insert text before and after search occurrences, delete text and replace text with spaces. Actual Search amp Replace can also be used as a command-line utility. It is supported by Windows 95/98/ME/2000/NT/XP/Vista/Server 2003, and it worked just fine for me. Version 2.8.2 adds the batch replace command. You can save reports on found files and detailed information about their inclusions. A single user license will cost you 29.95. Advanced Replace Tools (Windows) Link Advanced Replace Tool (ART) is an advanced text replacement utility that site owners and programmers (and anyone who uses a computer) will find indispensable.

Its GUI supports English, French, Norwegian, Spanish, Hungarian, Slovak, Russian and Macedonian. It runs on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP. TextPipe (Windows) Link For text processing functions, this is a panacea. With TextPipe 46 19. you specify all your text processing functions in one place rather than having to remember and manually manage multiple jobs across various text editors, command-line tools, custom scripts and Word and Excel macros. TextPipe makes it easy to work with HTML, XML, CSV, ZIP, DOCX, XLSTX, PPTX, ASCII, ANSI, Unicode, EBCDIC, Spooled print files, binary files, etc. One of the great features of TextPipe is that it can handle files of unlimited size, even larger than 2 GB Textpipe offers lots of filters to simplify your tasks, but if the default ones are not for you, you can write your own in VBScript or JScript. TextPipe comes in different versions to suit all your needs, such as TextPipe Pro, TextPipe Standard, TextPipe Lite, TextPipe Server, TextPipe Pro Run Time and TextPipe Engine, each with a different cost, obviously. It8217s blazingly powerful. Despite an amazing range of filters, it is very easy to use and not confusing. I8217m impressed by TextPipe8217s wide range of features and wouldn8217t hesitate recommending this product. TextPipe Lite costs 29.95. Text Filterer (Windows) Link 47 Text Filterer 48 22 works with hard and removable drives, as well as LAN. Its classic Explorer-like interface allows you to easily switch between viewing the contents of found documents in the preview pane and navigating back and forth through lists of found entries. The feature I like most is being able to browse your files by folder in the result browser with just one click. Search queries also act as filters and are reusable in later sessions. Text Filterer supports document formats such as Unicode, RTF, HTML, XLS, PDF and MS Word, image formats such as BMP, ICO, GIF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, PSD and WMF and archive formats such as ZIP, RAR, MHT and CHM at any level of nesting Neat, huh I tried extracting files from some of these archive formats and am very impressed with this feature. Being able to use meaningful names and choose from plenty of predefined commonly used definitions makes the task of performing regular expression operations dramatically simpler. A single-user license costs 19.90. Mass File Editor (Windows) Link Along with a powerful text operations engine, Mass File Editor 50 also functions as a fully featured text editor. It allows you to build a list of complex file-processing rules that can be applied with one click. You can prepare a list of individual files, file lists or whole directories to be searched. One of the things I like is that it is super-fast and usually requires clicking one button to search all the files in a list, with no user attention required. A regular expression search produces a set of matches and sub-matches (or sub-expressions) from throughout a file and stores it in a data stack to be used as a filter for other editing rules. What I also like is that Mass File Editor supports both Windows and UNIX-style end-of-line characters CR/LF and converts between them. System-wide dragging and dropping allows you to move text or whole files around. And I simply love the unlimited undo and redo actions it allows. Mass File Editor works on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003. A single-user license costs 29.95. Ferrite (Windows) Link Ferrite makes it easy to convert, manipulate and extract data from text documents. With a good GUI, it is designed to be easy to use for the novice and expert alike. It has a powerful engine for regular expressions, which allows intelligent data conversion and manipulation. Ferrite processes files of any size. It is fast because it uses an architecture that streams a small number of records through the filters, thus avoiding problems that arise when loading entire files into memory. Ferrite is a must-have tool if you are looking to automate text manipulation tasks. The JavaScript engine is also embedded in Ferrite for scripting purposes. It is possible to create your own filters and then later combine those filters to created different workflows. Ferrite costs 49, with a 90-day money-back guarantee. HandyFile Find and Replace (Windows) Link HandyFile 52 offers, according to its website, far more search and replace features than any other program 8212 but I haven8217t used them all. It comes in several editions, such as Text Aid Kit, Office Edition and Text Workbench. Text Aid Kit is the basic edition, and the Office Edition has all of the features in the Text Aid Kit plus a range of functions designed especially for office use. Text Workbench supports Unicode and UTF-8 files and can search, find and replace text in files on remote FTP servers . All of the editions provide powerful regular expression and batch replacement features. One feature I like is the regular expressions function, which really is fast. The common backup features are included here. Other impressive features are the wide-ranging user interface, the clear diagnostic messages, and its ability to keep files safe by processing replacement commands in the memory, not the files. Each edition has a different price, with the basic costing 23.45. Finders Keepers (Windows) Link Finders Keepers 54 8216 four different kinds of file searches, including indexed text retrieval, finds anything you8217re looking for, even if the text in the file is misspelled or you don8217t know how to spell it. Amazing, isn8217t it It supports finding and replacing anything in local or network files, creating automatic backups, saving search results and searching Zip files. It runs on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP/Vista. It8217s simple and useful but seems a bit pricey for what it does. A single-user license costs 29.95. MultiBatcher (Windows) Link MultiBatcher is much more than a mere search and replace utility. You can automatically update and upload files to multiple FTP servers. You can resize and create thumbnails of images. You can optimize HTML space, thereby decreasing overall Web page sizes. Its regular expressions function is obviously great. I particularly like the fact that programmers can extend its capabilities by adding modules or plug-ins that can create and perform other specialized batch operations and tasks. MultiBatcher uses built-in conversion, batch and automation tools to save time. MultiBatcher costs 29, with one year of free upgrades. It is supported by Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista. Batch Text Replacer (Windows) Link Batch Text Replacer 57 6 is convenient for developers, programmers, Web designers, network administrators and the like. Easily search and replace one or more strings in more than one type of file in more than one folder simultaneously. ANSI, UTF-8 and Unicode files are supported, along with TXT, CSV, HTM, XML, ASP, CPP, H, DPR, PAS, VBS, JS and a lot more. The usual backup features are here. You can make use of wildcards to replace strings. Batch Text Replacer makes use of white space normalization to find blocks of text with the same semantics in scripts and source codes. It is simple to use and comes with easy-to-access documentation. But, again, it seems a bit pricey. The price for home use is 29.95. It runs on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista. Aba Search amp Replace (Windows) Link In addition to the usual search and replace and other text-processing tasks, Aba 59 can quickly correct errors on your Web pages, replace banners and copyright notices, change method names, etc. As with all professional search and replace tools, it also allows you to preview the results in context before performing the replacement. Regular expressions also come as a great help to speed up search and replace tasks and make them more refined. Aba is as useful for Web designers as it is for programmers: it helps programmers insert headers (complete with author name, copyrights, etc.) at the top of each source code file it helps Web designers, among other things, style buttons, table cells, etc. What I like most is that within regular expressions, you can use Unicode-enabled character classes. It has extensive documentation, with easy-to-understand examples. A single-user license will cost you 30. You can download the trial version here 60 and here 61 . BK ReplaceEm (Windows) Link BK ReplaceEm 63 7 is essentially a text-based search and replace program. However, unlike the search and replace functionality of standard text editors, BK ReplaceEm is designed to operate on multiple text files at once. And you need not only perform one search and replace operation per file you can set up a list of operations to perform. Another excellent feature I liked is that you can specify a different destination for the file in which you are replacing text. This is useful, for example, if you run a search and replace operation on a file, save it to one destination, then run a different search and replace operation on the same source file and save it to a different destination, and then compare the two files. And best of all, you can use evergreen regular expressions. BK ReplaceEm is freeware and built for Windows. Global Search and Replace (Windows) Link Global Search and Replace 65 is a small tool with the usual search and replace features, including case-sensitive search. It lets you make good use of regular expressions. I very much liked its user interface and the fact that you can save search criteria to use later on. Just enter the path, select the check box labelled 8220Include sub-directories,8221 enter the File mask (e. g..txt 8212 enter more than one file mask by using a pipe separator 82208221) and you are good to go. Global Search and Replace comes without any adware or spyware and is built for Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista. You can download the trial version here 66. It costs 19.95, and you get free upgrades for two years. Search and Replace (Windows) Link Simply put, Search and Replace is an award-winning, easy-to-use utility loved equally by programmers and novice computer users. It is really fast, and you can view color-coded results in context with user-configurable fonts and colors. It can search multiple directories and sub-directories and even uses advanced egrep syntax for regular expression searching and replacing. You can also perform binary search and replace with this feature. Search and Replace is significantly faster than other Windows grep-only utilities, and it allows replacing for the same price as programs with grep-only capabilities. International versions of the application include support for German, Dutch, French, Italian, etc. Search and Replace starts at 25. It runs on Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista. 32-bit and x64 versions are available. Seeker (Windows) Link Seeker not only searches for files and file contents, it also lets you replace text inside files. Seeker supports both regular expressions and command-line parameters, and both features worked well for me. Seeker supports four advanced reporting models: detailed file list, structured report, summary report and summary report with file list and all results can be viewed in any of those modes. All search results are conveniently highlighted, which improves its already easy-to-use interface. I give it 10 out of 10 for its super-fast search speed. Seeker works on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista. Overall, it is a good-quality application, with a good GUI. It is free . but you are invited to make a donation. V-Grep (Windows) Link V-Grep is an easy-to-use, feature-rich application for Windows. You can speed up searches by using masks (which are kind of like wildcards) to describe complex patterns. Regular expressions functionality makes the search experience even more enriching. In Unix-class systems, regular expressions are handled by a program called GREP (global regular expression print). V-Grep (visual GREP) gives you all the functionality of GREP and lots of other very useful options, all packed in a typical Windows GUI. V-Grep also allows you to search for files without knowing any regular expressions, but even then, its more legible search results make it much better than Windows8217 built-in search feature. V-Grep is compatible with Windows 95/98/98 SE/ME/NT 4/2000/XP/2003/Vista. It is a type of freeware (8221postcardware8221). You can download it here 68 .
