NAME

urifind - find URIs in a document and dump them to STDOUT.

SYNOPSIS

$ urifind file

DESCRIPTION

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.

OPTION SUMMARY

-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.
