I am trying to do a search on our server to find out all the occurences of the statement:

document.location

in all of our html and javascript source code.

I am using the following:

find . -type f -exec grep -l 'document.location' '{}' \; > $HOME/location1.txt

However the results returned in my output file are also bringing back any statements within the code such as document.write etc.

Can anyone help and provide me with what I should be searching for so that only files are brought back where they match document.location only.

Many thanks in advance.

 

Thanks, I've had to take the -e out to get it to run. So far it appears to have worked.

I need to find all the pages that have a server re-direct on and the best method I have found is to look through the source code looking for document.location.

So far from the above search, all the pages that it has found, appear to re-direct to another page when viewing them, so it looks like it is working.

Thanks.

 

I am getting an error in the command now, missing quote when it came across a gif file in the directory.

Anyone shed any light?

 

Thanks - I got it all sorted!

I modified the unix command just to look for .html and .shtml files and it worked a treat.

Cheers.

 

Mind you the search does bring back the matches AND also if the keyword is in comments. I am looking just for the pages that will execute the statement. Don't suppose there is some clever way in the grep statement to not bring back matches where the keyword is in comments. Probably impossible as the comments begin in different places in the code from one file to another.

I suppose I need to check the returned results one by one manually to see if the source code does indeed contain the keyword in comments and if it does then just ignore them.

Unless of course someone knows something different?!?!

 

Well it isn't worth writing a regular expression to filter them all out. You could pipe the output through ``grep -v "\""'' before redirecting to a file but for instances where document.location isn't itself within quotes, but quotes exist elsewhere on the line, it wont pick it up.

Just do what any self respecting developer would do....remove all the comments and never put any more in

Provided all commented lines begin with the comment characters shouldn't be too hard. Could be a bit of a pain though if you need to work out if it is within a comment block.

 

might be an idea to use a perl script...

 

Thanks for the help on the above.

How would I go about searching within HTML files for say 4 words using the grep command.

eg look for "Credit" AND "Card" AND "Payment" AND "American".

All the above 4 words must appear within the HTML file for it to be brought back.

Thanks in advance.

 

STFW!

grep 'Credit' *.html | grep 'Card' |grep 'American'|grep 'Payment'

Easier to OR than AND with grep.

You obviously didn't



for logical OR:



grep -e "(Credit|Card|Payment|American)" file



If you don't know the order in which those searchterms will be in the file(s) you have to make multiple passes and check each searched term.



I'd do this in Perl:



perl -0ne '/Credit/ && /Card/ && /Payment/ && /American/' file


Let's edit this and put it in a format you can use:

find . -name "*.html" -exec perl -0ne '/Credit/ && /Card/ && /Payment/ && /American/ && print "$ARGV\n"' {} \;

There's probably a far better way.

But he wants to AND , not OR

 

Yeah that's what && means.

Steve.

 

Try

find . -type f | xargs grep -l -e 'document.location' > $HOME/location1.txt

Probably not much help

Paste the error.

find . -type f -exec grep -il 'document.location' {} \; > output
