## Data processing
## Processing files and data
- To locate a file by name in the current directory, `find -iname *something* .` (or similar). To find a file anywhere by name, use `locate something` (but bear in mind `updatedb` my not have indexed recently created files).
- For general searching through source or data files (more advanced than `grep -r`), use [`ag`](https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher).
- To convert HTML to text: `lynx -dump -stdin`
