Replacing Text with BK ReplaceEm

Last night I set about to prepare my images from Shambhala 2005 to upload to the web. I created a web page using Picasa, but I wanted to edit the template using Homesite. I spent a long time trying, once again, to figure out how to replace regular expressions using HomeSite's Find/ Replace tool.

Finally, I gave up, and then spent a long time trying to wrap my brain around BK ReplaceEm's text replace tool. Here is what ultimatley worked:

Advance Edit | Regular Expression Search

Search text: shambhala_2005_[0-9][0-9][0-9].jpg

To replace: shambhala_2005_001.jpg, etc.

OS X: Temporarily pause active applications

For purposes of this example, assume it’s Safari you’d like to pause. In the Terminal, type this command:

ps -ax | grep Safari

The ps -ax portion of the command lists all processes, just to make sure you see everything. The pipe symbol (the vertical bar) then passes this list of processes to grep, which searches for the string Safari. By using grep, we won’t have to look at the output for the processes we don’t care about. The output of this command should look something like this:

6537 ?? S 20:05.19 /Applications/Safari.app ... 0_51642369 8932 p1 S+ 0:00.01 grep Safari

The process ID is the first number in the output—6537 in this case. To temporarily pause Safari, just type:

kill -STOP 6537

When you’re done, switch back to the Terminal, and type:

kill -CONT 6537
