= Mac OS X Useful Scripts

== Overview

Whilst using Mac OS X primarily through the terminal, I have written scripts to help save time and improve the experience within Terminal. This is my collection of scripts which I will hopefully continue to update and expand upon.

== spotfind

Because the default find command on Mac OS X is painfully slow, and mdfind is a little cryptic and is missing some simple paramters, I wrote this script to simplify the process of rapidly finding files, folders or text within files.

=== Installation

Download spotfind Ensure the file exists in a folder within your default environment PATH or simply copy it to /usr/local/bin. Ensure the file has execute permissions set (use chmod 755).

=== Usage

Simply run spotlight with no parameters for details on usage.
