Firebug Lite

Firebug Lite

From the makers of Firebug for Firefox, now comes Firebug Lite. Firebug Lite is available for all browsers that have javascript enabled.

Firebug Lite can run as a bookmarklet or as an include file in any page for your project and all you have to do is hit F12 to access it once it is on your page (only available for includes).

Since it is a lite version, it does not include all of the functions available to the normal Firebug plugin. It will come in handy though. You can inspect the css, the js, or the DOM.

Like grep, but not

This code is like using grep. However, grep only returns the lines that contain the actual text you are searching for. This code allows you to return x number of lines before and after the text you are searching for along with the line itself. This command came in handy searching for information in the uds log files.

nawk 'c-->0;$0~s{if(b)for(c=b+1;c>1;c--)print r[(NR-c+1)%b];print;c=a}b{r[NR%b]=$0}' b=2 a=4 s="fetchHotel" file

b is the number of lines to print before the line encountered and a is the number of lines to print after the line is encountered.

s=”string” string you are looking for (in this case fetchHotel)
and file is the file you are looking in.
