# Usage
# (Note: This command does not handle spaces in filenames!)
# * cd into the directory containing the files and subdirectories of files in
#   which you wish to carry out string substitution using a regex
# * Run the command:
#   rsub 'search regex' 'replacement text'
# * This will effect the desired substitution in files in the current directory
#   and in any subdirectories

# Usage:
#
# (Note - This command does not recursively traverse subdirectories!)
#
# * Save the script to a directory that is in your PATH variable so it can be executed
# * chmod u+x path/to/sort_dir # so that it can be executed
# * cd into the directory containing the files who's contents you wish to sort
# * Simpy run the command 'sort_dir'
# * This will product an subdirectory called 'sorted' containing all the current
#   directory's files with their contents sorted

Thanks for your reply. It was a set of Sony headphones where one earphone stopped working the other day so I popped in to see ...

... what was required to get an exchange. I was told that a simple exchange was only possible within the first 28 days or if I had purchased a special warranty. I will try to track down the receipt and call into the store again if the purchasing of the special warranty is not crucial.

Thanks,
Declan

* Good news for Netbeans users, JRuby is working on a deal to keep Rails support in Netbeans via a plugin. http://markmail.org/message/r7fliknkieg7fnwq

* I've been a long time TextMate user, but the lack of window splits and a terminal have always grated.  This week I had a little time to look at the state of the art for editors for Rails development. I looked at RubyMine (too slow), Emacs (too hard to setup and slow), Sublime (incomplete), Coda (not deep enough), and BBEdit (didn't click with me).  Finally, I revisited Vim (MacVim).  It seems to have a loyal following and after I spent the time going through the Vimtutor, I am now a convert. As an editor, Vim rocks. The power of the text navigation and manipulation alone were worth switching for, but add in Rails.vim (http://rails.vim.tpope.net/) and a ready
