I have a page exported from a wiki and I would like to find all the links on that page using bash. All the links on that page are in the form [wiki:<page_name>]. I have a script that does:
...
# First search for the links to the pages
search=`grep '\[wiki:' pages/*`
# Check is our search turned up anything
if [ -n "$search" ]; then
# Now, we want to cut out the page name and find unique listings
uniquePages=`echo "$search" | cut -d'[' -f 2 | cut -d']' -f 1 | cut -d':' -f2 | cut -d' ' -f 1 | sort -u`
....
However, when presented with a grep result with multiple [wiki: text in it, it only pulls the last one and not any others. For example if $search is:
Before starting the configuration, all the required libraries must be installed to be detected by Cmake. If you have missed this step, see the [wiki:CT/Checklist/Libraries “Libr By pressing [t] you can switch to advanced mode screen with more details. The 5 pages are available [wiki:CT/Checklist/Cmake/advanced_mode here]. To obtain information about ea – ”’Installation of Cantera”’: If Cantera has not been correctly installed or if you do not have sourced the setup file ”’~/setup_cantera”’ you should receive the following message. Refer to the [wiki:CT/FormulationCantera “Cantera installation”] page to fix this problem. You can set the Cantera options to OFF if you plan to use built-in transport, thermodynamics and chemistry.
then it only returns CT/FormulationCantera and it doesn’t give me any of the other links. I know this is due to using cut so I need a replacement for the $uniquepages line.
Does anybody have any suggestions in bash? It can use sed or perl if needed, but I’m hoping for a one-liner to extract a list of page names if at all possible.
upd. to remove all after space without
cut
