This is the command xml_grepp that can be run in the OnWorks free hosting provider using one of our multiple free online workstations such as Ubuntu Online, Fedora Online, Windows online emulator or MAC OS online emulator
PROGRAM:
NAME
xml_grep - grep XML files looking for specific elements
SYNOPSYS
xml_grep [options] <file list>
or
xml_grep <xpath expression> <file list>
By default you can just give "xml_grep" an XPath expression and a list of files, and get
an XML file with the result.
This is equivalent to writing
xml_grep --group_by_file file --pretty_print indented --cond <file list>
OPTIONS
--help
brief help message
--man
full documentation
--Version
display the tool version
--root <cond>
look for and return xml chunks matching <cond>
if neither "--root" nor "--file" are used then the element(s) that trigger the
"--cond" option is (are) used. If "--cond" is not used then all elements matching the
<cond> are returned
several "--root" can be provided
--cond <cond>
return the chunks (or file names) only if they contain elements matching <cond>
several "--cond" can be provided (in which case they are OR'ed)
--files
return only file names (do not generate an XML output)
usage of this option precludes using any of the options that define the XML output:
"--roots", "--encoding", "--wrap", "--group_by_file" or "--pretty_print"
--count
return only the number of matches in each file
usage of this option precludes using any of the options that define the XML output:
"--roots", "--encoding", "--wrap", "--group_by_file" or "--pretty_print"
--strict
without this option parsing errors are reported to STDOUT and the file skipped
--date
when on (by default) the wrapping element get a "date" attribute that gives the date
the tool was run.
with "--nodate" this attribute is not added, which can be useful if you need to
compare 2 runs.
--encoding <enc>
encoding of the xml output (utf-8 by default)
--nb_results <nb>
output only <nb> results
--by_file
output only <nb> results by file
--wrap <tag>
wrap the xml result in the provided tag (defaults to 'xml_grep')
If wrap is set to an empty string ("--wrap ''") then the xml result is not wrapped at
all.
--nowrap
same as using "--wrap ''": the xml result is not wrapped.
--descr <string>
attributes of the wrap tag (defaults to "version="<VERSION>" date="<date>"")
--group_by_file <optional_tag>
wrap results for each files into a separate element. By default that element is named
"file". It has an attribute named "filename" that gives the name of the file.
the short version of this option is -g
--exclude <condition>
same as using "-v" in grep: the elements that match the condition are excluded from
the result, the input file(s) is (are) otherwise unchanged
the short form of this option is -v
--pretty_print <optional_style>
pretty print the output using XML::Twig styles ('"indented"', '"record"' or
'"record_c"' are probably what you are looking for)
if the option is used but no style is given then '"indented"' is used
short form for this argument is -s
--text_only
Displays the text of the results, one by line.
--html
Allow HTML input, files are converted using HTML::TreeBuilder
--Tidy
Allow HTML input, files are converted using HTML::Tidy
Condition Syntax
<cond> is an XPath-like expression as allowed by XML::Twig to trigger handlers.
exemples:
'para'
'para[@compact="compact"]'
'*[@urgent]'
'*[@urgent="1"]'
'para[string()="WARNING"]'
see XML::Twig for a more complete description of the <cond> syntax
options are processedby Getopt::Long so they can start with '-' or '--' and can be
abbreviated ("-r" instead of "--root" for example)
DESCRIPTION
xml_grep does a grep on XML files. Instead of using regular expressions it uses XPath
expressions (in fact the subset of XPath supported by XML::Twig)
the results can be the names of the files or XML elements containing matching elements.
