I'm still a newbie with PHP, but I learned a small trick to easily find what I need...

 

do a: grep -r 'text you want to search here' *

in your top catalog directory.

 

Replace 'text you want to search here' with a phrase from the text you want to edit.

 

Youl'' then find the file to edit.

 

esay-peasy! :)

Thanks,

 

That sounds like a good idea. When I try it on my server though it just hangs. Maybe they don't allow that command on my server - too big a load? Anyway, I foud from another thread that all the stuff I want to change is in /catalog/includes/languages/english. Not very easy to find it there though. Simple text files as email templates would be a lot easier....

Did you put in all 4 parts of the grep? If you type

grep -r 'Text'

It will hang as you describe. The problem is that if you don't include any files at which to look, it defaults to reading the standard input from the keyboard. You need the final . or *, like this:

grep -r 'Text' *

 

Good luck,
