Hi,

I'm looking for some code I wrote maybe 7 years ago. A web scraper that
collected data from a specific web shop. It must be somewhere in my home
dir in an image, perhaps Pharo 4.0, or in .mcz files stored by Monticello.
What would be a good way to search for it? I tried

grep -r --include \*.changes "server-url.com" ~

(I also asked ChatGPT as per the previous discussion on this list, and it
tries its best to teach me about grep and sound very convincing while
providing me with arguments that grep can't evaluate :))

with no luck so far.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Siemen

May have some syntax wrong, but something like:
find . -name *.changes -exec “grep -i webscrap “

Check the manpage of find command for exec examples. The -i on grep ignores
uppercase/lowercase differences. HTH

Monticello files AFAIR are zip files. So maybe you can extract them and run
grep against the content
