I'm looking for a regular expression based search/replace GUI tool that is able to handle multiple files/subdirectories, something like grepWin but for Mac OS X. ×If you are using Adblocker!!

Hi r/sysadmin
Each week I thought I'd post these SysAdmin tools, tips, tutorials etc with just one link to get it in your inbox each week. Let me know any ideas for future versions in the comments.
There are 15+ items this week as it's been a really busy time travelling. The weekly emails have been going out, but they've been saved up for reddit :)
Here are the most interesting items that have come across our desks, laptops, phones this week. As always, I have no affiliation with any of these unless I explicitly state otherwise.
A SysAdmin Time Management Book
Time Management for System Administrators: Stop Working Late and Start Working Smart. I'm a big fan of time management or more specifically using the time we have to be as effective (not just efficient) as possible. This book had been recommended to the team as it tackles this subject specifically for SysAdmins.
A RegEx Cheatsheet
Regular Expressions Cheatsheet by DaveChild. Our Email Protection Service allows the use of regex to manage inbound and outbound mailflow. Our support team passed us this handy cheatsheet which includes symbols, ranges, grouping, assertions and some sample patterns to get you started.
An Amusing Blog
The Daily WTF. Founded in 2004 by Alex Papadimoulis, The Daily WTF is your how-not-to guide for developing software. We recount tales of disastrous development, from project management gone spectacularly bad to inexplicable coding choices.
Create Your Own (Free) Practice Environment
AWS Free. Many people aren't aware that AWS offer a free tier. Here you can create your own practice environment, replicate problems and generally learn a lot.
A Free Security Tool
Attack Surface Analyzer. Attack Surface Analyzer takes a snapshot of your system state before and after the installation of product(s) and displays the changes to a number of key elements of the Windows attack surface.
A True SysAdmin Detective Story
The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage. As one review says: 'A great read. If you're a Unix sysadmin, like me, you will recognize and empathize with a lot of the concepts. If you've been doing sysadmin work for more than a decade, like myself, then you'll remember the old technologies as described in this book - the modems, the bulletin boards, the days before 'ssh' .. If you're a new-school sysadmin, then you will be surprised to see a lot of things haven't changed in the world of Unix: telnet is still around, the 'root' account is still around. The foundations of Unix were laid in the early 1970s. The events of this book took place in the 1980s. And many of the command line tools are still in use today.'
A Tip
Import PST files to Office 365 Exchange For all of you Office 365 users, this is an option you need in your armoury.
Reddit SysAdmin Multi
Regex Tool For Mac
/r/netsec /r/networking /r/pwned /r/linuxadmin all in one! I've just worked out you can string multiple subreddits together, so I thought I'd share.
Remote Server Admin Tools
There is no reason to RDP into a server once you have the RSAT tools installed. You can manage any aspect of your Windows infrastructure using these tools, and use RunAs if you need to log on as a different user. * Edit 3 comments from admlshake 'Might want to put a * or something by the RSAT tools, as MS seems to muck it up with every update/upgrade of Windows 10. Sometimes, DHCP, sometimes DNS, a lot of times, (for me) ADUC.'
A Very Useful Blog
All About Microsoft. Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley's blog covers the products, people, and strategies that make Microsoft tick.
A Tip
Quickly Find a MAC Address
Rather than going through network dialog windows or scrolling through long lists via ipconfig, simply open up a command prompt and type getmac. It’s quick, and easy, especially if you have multiple NIC interfaces.
A Free Tool
ADModify.NET is a tool primarily utilized by Exchange and Active Directory administrators to facilitate bulk user attribute modifications.
An IT Pro Community
4sysops is an online community for IT professionals. 'In our weblog, experienced IT pros cover the latest technologies in system administration, cloud computing and DevOps. On our news page, you'll find updates about new developments in IT, in the wiki users can share their IT know-how, and in the forum, members can ask IT administration questions or discuss the latest hot IT topics. The most active members are rewarded with a monthly bonus.'
A Slack Channel
PowerShell Slack. 'We have had a Virtual User Group on FreeNode IRC since before PowerShell was generally available, and we added a PowerShell Slack chapter years ago. Join the thousands of members getting real-time assistance!'
An IT Pro Quote
'It's easy to forget that the ultimate goal of systems administration is to make systems, applications and services available to people who use them to get their jobs done. Free online kitchen design tool for mac. A good systems administrator must be able to communicate and get along well with others' Taken from an article I was reading this week.
Have a fantastic week!!

Snippet Tool For Mac
I'm the CEO of EveryCloud the Email Security company. We offer free tools (such as our free Mailflow Monitor (the idea actually came from reddit)) and a free weekly summary email for IT Pros (this - IT Pro Tuesdays - link to subscribe above). We have no affiliation with any of the items listed in the email unless we explicitly state otherwise and we try to choose the ones most recommended by IT Professionals. Our hope is only that when it's time to review / renew your Email Security, you'll then take a look at us.
I have read the rules of this subreddit and try therefore to avoid promoting any of our paid products directly or blog articles, I'm just adding a link each week in case you want to sign up to receive these emails in your inbox.
