Hoe to run multi file searches as a script or macro

[mmb21003200]

Hi,

I am not new to BBEdit but I have never done any scripting, and it seems 
that text factory will not do what I want so I am looking for pointers to 
scripts or whatever to do this:

1. Run multi finds using  a series of grep searches (not replaces). There 
might be up to 10 or more searches.
2. Put the output found (results) into one document so they are all 
together (prefixed by document path where they were found)

I know I can do this manually but I would really like it to be automated 
and guess it has to be applescript (or perl).

Many thanks.

You just described `grep` command line. You will probably need 
to read some docco:


From command line (Terminal):
  man grep

Or online:
  https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html

Put all your search patterns in one file (eg. search-patterns.txt):
search.*1 pattern
pattern.*2
search.*10

Then run grep

  grep -R -f search patterns.txt path/to/files/ > found-results.txt
  bbedit found-results.txt

Or go straight to bbedit:

  grep -R -f search patterns.txt path/to/files/ | bbedit found-results.txt

If you want to avoid Terminal, then run the above in a BBEdit worksheet.

Note, grep has regular and 'extended' regex syntax, which is why 
I said you may need to read docco. It depends on how complex 
your search terms are.

Hey Mark,

I believe you initially said you wanted to delete or move the matched files, so 
I'm going to start with that.

I have commented-out delete in the script below, so you can see how it works 
without sending anything to the trash.  Uncomment # delete foundFiles and 
remove foundFiles to send the found files to the trash.

I've employed the long form of command-line switches for clarity.

---
set targetFolder to quoted form of "/Users/chris/test_directory/folders_nested/"
set _patterns to quoted form of "
one.*four
three.*nine
ten.*twenty
"

set shCMD to "grep --extended-regexp --ignore-case --recursive" & " \"" & 
_patterns & "\" " & targetFolder & " \\
| sed -En '/:/{
s!:[^:]+$!!
p
}
' \\
| sort -u"

set foundFiles to do shell script shCMD

if foundFiles ≠ "" then
  
  set foundFiles to paragraphs of foundFiles
  repeat with i in foundFiles
set contents of i to alias POSIX file i
  end repeat
  
  tell application "Finder"
# delete foundFiles
  end tell
  
  foundFiles
  
end if
-

Move the found files instead of deleting them.

The destination folder must already exist, although it wouldn't be difficult to 
make one on-the-fly.

The Finder's move command has a replacing option that will replace any 
collisions.  I have NOT used that in the script.

---
set targetFolder to quoted form of "/Users/chris/test_directory/folders_nested/"
set destFolder to alias "Ryoko:Users:chris:Downloads:dest:"
set _patterns to quoted form of "
one.*four
three.*nine
ten.*twenty
"

set shCMD to "grep --extended-regexp --ignore-case --recursive" & " \"" & 
_patterns & "\" " & targetFolder & " \\
| sed -En '/:/{
s!:[^:]+$!!
p
}
' \\
| sort -u"

set foundFiles to do shell script shCMD

if foundFiles ≠ "" then
  
  set foundFiles to paragraphs of foundFiles
  repeat with i in foundFiles
set contents of i to alias POSIX file i
  end repeat
  
  tell application "Finder"
move foundFiles to destFolder
  end tell
  
end if
-

Now let's use `bbfind` instead of `grep` to send the file-path plus found text 
to a new document in BBEdit:

---
set targetFolder to quoted form of "/Users/chris/test_directory/folders_nested/"
set _patterns to "one.*four|three.*nine|ten.*twenty"
set shCMD to "PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH;
bbfind \"" & _patterns & "\" --grep " & targetFolder & " \\
| bbedit"
do shell script shCMD
---

Now let's rewrite that as a pure shell script.

It could be written as a one-liner, but I've broken it up to be easier to read 
(hopefully).

#! /usr/bin/env bash

grepPatterns="one.*four|three.*nine|ten.*twenty";

targetFolder="/Users/chris/test_directory/folders_nested/";

bbfind "$grepPatterns" --grep "$targetFolder" | bbedit

As you can see your task isn't overly difficult.

Hey Mark,

I think I confused you with a guy on the TextWrangler list.  Sorry 'bout that.

I think I've provided a solution to the actual problem you posted, but do let 
me know if I've missed the boat.

But Mac OS X no longer includes gnu grep, more's the pity. They replaced it 
with the BSD version. There are a number of differences, the most 
significant one being the lack of a -P option.

Apple's grep manpage is available online 
here: 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/grep.1.html

Re: Hoe to run multi file searches as a script or macro

[mmb21003200]

I can't get it working with the -f parameter, nothing is returned, but if I 
put regex inline then it is ok.

grep \@due  ~/Dropbox/Taskpaper/Main/*



I think it is probably better to go the applescript route. I am actually 
using BBEdit v11 on x.10 but had a similar problem on mavericks. The simple 
multi file find can probably be scripted to repeat itself, I had initially 
tried using process lines containing ... but this deletes all the non 
matching.


I do have some basic perl knowledge so may be able to do it using that 
instead, passing the files in as parameters, but they are in different 
nested folders.


BTW, how do I get commands to run in the Unix worksheet, cmd enter does not 
do anything ? (I need to RTFM).


Thanks again.

Is that something recent? I'm stuck at 10.7, and I get:

$ grep -V
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

[I can't use the new BBE either. :-(  I'm looking at some new hardware for that 
reason alone.]

Which results?

The OP said:

Tell us what you *really* want to achieve and I can probably 
suggest a better solution.


Based on the above requirement, my original suggestion using 
grep is still the best solution, short of re-inventing the wheel.

As Dave pointed out; that might be due to different version of 
grep; read the docco at the link he supplied (assuming you have 
current OS).



I think it is probably better to go the applescript route.


Not if you want the search to actually finish while you're still 
at work. Really, you could not have described grep any better; 
it's the tool you want; re-inventing a perfectly good tool makes 
no sense.



I am actually using BBEdit v11 on x.10 but had a similar problem on
mavericks. The simple multi file find can probably be scripted to
repeat itself, I had initially tried using process lines containing ...
but this deletes all the non matching.


Sure it can be scripted. But will take much longer to write that 
script, and will take **MUCH** longer to run that script. The 
time it takes you to read the grep docco will be less than the 
time it takes to re-invent grep.


I do have some basic perl knowledge so may be able to do it 
using that instead, passing the files in as parameters, but 
they are in different nested folders.


Yep, Perl is much better suited (close to its original design 
purpose), but it's still not needed. It's overkill for the 
described problem. Of course, the real problem may be different 
than the described problem, in which case my suggestions could 
be very wrong.


Combine grep with xargs, and I'd be *VERY* surprised if you need 
any scripting at all. Eg. the need to delete matched files 
(discussed earlier) would simply be:


grep -R -l "find this string" in/this/path/ | xargs rm

That command WILL delete all matched files (so be careful); 
should be interactive though, the following will force delete:


grep -R -l "find this string" in/this/path/ | xargs rm -f

BTW, how do I get commands to run in the Unix worksheet, cmd 
enter does not do anything ? (I need to RTFM).


Yep, RTFM, cmd-enter does not do anything. Just press enter.

I think they made that change in mountain lion, but it could have been lion.

When you get your new machine you might want to download the latest gnu grep. 
Drop me a line if you need help building it with PCRE support.

Re: Hoe to run multi file searches as a script or macro

The -f option didn't change. I think it's a posix standard. The path to the 
pattern file has to immediately follow the -f, and the patterns have to be 
LF-delimited. I've used it in both BSD grep and gnu grep.

Re: Hoe to run multi file searches as a script or macro

[mmb21003200]

Using grep works but only one search at a time because of my limited 
knowledge of regexp !

How do I do a regexp search with multiple finds but excluding certain 
patterns so for example in Perl I can do

print if (/^.*\@thisweek(?!.*\@done).*/);
print if (/^.*\@nextweek(?!.*\@done).*/); etc

Not great as would rather do it in one pattern, but it does return what I 
want.

So Ideally I want to find all lines with '@due' OR '@next-week' OR '@next 
month' but NOT @done

Cant understand why a multi file search using text factory  in BBE won't 
allow the results to go into a new window.

Thanks.

grep -RP "@(due|next(-week| month)).+(?!@done)" path > search_results.txt

Should find all of them, but only if you have gnu grep with PCRE support.

This is a new convention in BBEdit 11.

'Cmd-Return' or 'Enter' used to be the default invocation hotkeys.

'New Line After Paragraph' has taken over Cmd-Return, and 'New Line Before 
Paragraph' has taken over Cmd-Shift-Return.

'Ctrl-Return' and 'Enter' are the NEW defaults.  The latter is a long reach on 
a full-size keyboard, so I prefer the former.

Has PCRE in (gnu) grep gone live?  It was experimental.  Wunderbar!  This seems 
to be true in v2.2.

Even so - the OP need not install it to use PCRE.  The `bbfind` cli-tool that 
comes with BBEdit should work and should be more tolerant of different 
file-encodings.

#! /usr/bin/env bash
srcDir=~/'test_directory/folders_nested_one/';
destDir=~/'Desktop/Nuts in Training!/';
mkdir -pv "$destDir";
bbfind -gS '@(thisweek|nextweek)(?>(?!@done).)*$' "$srcDir" | sed -E 's/:.+$//' 
| sort --unique | xargs -J % cp -v % "$destDir"

The output directory is created if not extant.

I've used `cp` in this one to be non-destructive, but that's easy to change to 
`mv` or `rm`.

I've also set `cp` to verbose output, so I know exactly what was done.

Chris,

The bbfind command was very useful and works well for me in a worksheet, many 
thanks.
