This idea does not work so well.

Radio Userland has a preference option which allows one to archive posts in XML form to your hard drive as you post them to your Radio Community Server, and I use Apple’s Sherlock to find old posts of mine for referencing. I thought that I could use three exclamation points (!!!) to mark old posts to find with Sherlock. But it only indexes words.

“No problem,” I thought. I’ll use grep "!!!" /Applications/Radio Userland/backups/weblogArchives/posts/*, but that did not work either: the bang in Terminal substitutes the last command executed in the shell in the command given. What does work, though, is grep "\!\!\!" /Applications/Radio Userland/backups/weblogArchive/posts/*, which sort of loses the simplicity that I was hoping for. But it works.

If I do wish to use Sherlock, I’ll have to think of a keyword that I can use.

Stuart Cheshire, of AppleScript events over TCP and Rendezvous fame, once wrote about latency.
