txts
Updated: Aug17,2020

Use various grep calls to compile lists of file and lines in those files that contains a user-specified text string.

 
% txts -h 

usage: txts /home/sco/scohtm/scocodes "fits image"  [-v]  
arg1 = date the bias images were taken 
arg2 = text string to be searched for 
Additional options: 
 -v = print verbose comments and run in debug mode 
 -b = basename of search file 
 -h = just show usage message  


% txts $codes/bash/HELP_FILES "H_beta_L" 
   
 0  Number of files with the text phrase                                   =  2 
 1  Number of files with the text phrase using case-insentive search       =  2 
 2  Number of files/line with the text phrase search                       =  4 
 3  Number of files/line with the text phrase using case-insentive search  =  4 

% cat SEARCH3 
/home/sco/Installs/install_sco2019_20200305/codes/bash/HELP_FILES/redshifter.sh.help:  4861.330  H_beta_L

Using the uhpwg routine I can make a listing with txts and then view all of the images associated with the list html docs. This provides a fast way of searching for lost or forgotten documents.

Here is how I might search for a web document, where I also view the images associated them. Suppose I have a web document where I may have used a phrase like "acm biass". Here is what I might do.

 

WEB SEARCH EXAMPLE: 

% txts $scohtm/scocodes "acm bias" 
 0  Number of files with the text phrase                                   =  30 
 1  Number of files with the text phrase using case-insentive search       =  35 
 2  Number of files/line with the text phrase search                       =  79 
 3  Number of files/line with the text phrase using case-insentive search  =  84 

I read trhough the most extensive file (SEARCH3) and I still can not 
find what I am looking for. Ica look at the figures in all of the html 
docs using the following steps. 

% uhpwg.sh SEARCH0   

Number of unique paths found =   18

The number of images file located =  84
View them with:    display_image_list uhpwg.out_images  

So I run the suggested command: 
% display_image_list uhpwg.out_images


In this example, I viewed 84 images in just a few minutes.
