urifind - Man Page

    $ urifind file

urifind is a simple script that finds URIs in one or more files (using URI::Find), and outputs them to to STDOUT.  That's it.

To find all the URIs in file1, use:

    $ urifind file1

To find the URIs in multiple files, simply list them as arguments:

    $ urifind file1 file2 file3

urifind will read from STDIN if no files are given or if a filename of - is specified:

    $ wget http://www.boston.com/ -O - | urifind

When multiple files are listed, urifind prefixes each found URI with the file from which it came:

    $ urifind file1 file2
    file1: http://www.boston.com/index.html
    file2: http://use.perl.org/

This can be turned on for single files with the -p ("prefix") switch:

    $urifind -p file3
    file1: http://fsck.com/rt/

It can also be turned off for multiple files with the -n ("no prefix") switch:

    $ urifind -n file1 file2
    http://www.boston.com/index.html
    http://use.perl.org/

By default, URIs will be displayed in the order found; to sort them ascii-betically, use the -s ("sort") option.  To reverse sort them, use the -r ("reverse") flag (-r implies -s).

    $ urifind -s file1 file2
    http://use.perl.org/
    http://www.boston.com/index.html
    mailto:webmaster@boston.com

    $ urifind -r file1 file2
    mailto:webmaster@boston.com
    http://www.boston.com/index.html
    http://use.perl.org/

Finally, urifind supports limiting the returned URIs by scheme or by arbitrary pattern, using the -S option (for schemes) and the -P option.  Both -S and -P can be specified multiple times:

    $ urifind -S mailto file1
    mailto:webmaster@boston.com

    $ urifind -S mailto -S http file1
    mailto:webmaster@boston.com
    http://www.boston.com/index.html

-P takes an arbitrary Perl regex.  It might need to be protected from the shell:

    $ urifind -P 's?html?' file1
    http://www.boston.com/index.html

    $ urifind -P '\.org\b' -S http file4
    http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html

Add a -d to have urifind dump the refexen generated from -S and -P to STDERR.  -D does the same but exits immediately:

    $ urifind -P '\.org\b' -S http -D 
    $scheme = '^(\bhttp\b):'
    @pats = ('^(\bhttp\b):', '\.org\b')

To remove duplicates from the results, use the -u ("unique") switch.

-s

Sort results.

-r

Reverse sort results (implies -s).

-u

Return unique results only.

-n

Don't include filename in output.

-p

Include filename in output (0 by default, but 1 if multiple files are included on the command line).

-P $re

Print only lines matching regex '$re' (may be specified multiple times).

-S $scheme

Only this scheme (may be specified multiple times).

-h

Help summary.

-v

Display version and exit.

-d

Dump compiled regexes for -S and -P to STDERR.

-D

Same as -d, but exit after dumping.
