# Running S&D via CLI ### Command `php artisan sd:run {path} {searchers*} {--original}` The command accepts two arguments: - path: The path to the document file on which the Search&Displace will run - searchers: This argument can be one of the following two types: - file searchers: the argument must only have one group in the format 'path:replace_with' or 'path+displace_with', where path is the path to a **valid JSON** file - inline searchers: the argument can have multiple groups of inline searchers in the format 'key:replace_with' or 'key+displace_with'. The 'key' represents a valid searcher found in the 'storage/app/searchers' directory, without the '.json' extension. - --original: This optional argument can be used if the resulted document should be in the original document format and having the same structure and styles, otherwise the resulted document will be a Markdown file. The ':replace_with' or '+displace_with' values are optional, not using them will remove the found text strings. If the 'replace_with' value is used, like for example 'X:example', then all text strings found will be replaced with the 'example' text. If the 'displace_with' value is used, like for example 'Y+example', then all text strings found will be replaced with text composed using the following format: '{DISPLACE_WITH} FOUND TEXT {/DISPLACE_WITH}', so in our example if the operation finds the text string 'placeholder', then the result will be '{example} placeholder {/example}'. The resulted Markdown document or the document in the original format will be created in the same directory as the input document file together with an analysis result file. ### Examples Note! These examples work when running the command from the root app directory, otherwise you have to input the correct paths in the command, including for the 'artisan' file. - Using valid JSON file searcher and removing all strings found `php artisan sd:run ./demo-cli/demo_document.pdf ./demo-cli/demo_searcher.json` - Using valid JSON file searcher and replacing all strings found with the string 'EMAIL' `php artisan sd:run ./demo-cli/demo_document.pdf ./demo-cli/demo_searcher.json:EMAIL` - Using valid searcher key (which exists in the directory 'storage/app/searchers') and removing all strings found `php artisan sd:run ./demo-cli/demo_document.pdf demo_searcher` - Using valid searcher key (which exists in the directory 'storage/app/searchers') and replacing all strings found with the string 'EMAIL' `php artisan sd:run ./demo-cli/demo_document.pdf demo_searcher:EMAIL` - Using valid JSON file searcher and displacing all strings found using 'EMAIL' `php artisan sd:run ./demo-cli/demo_document.pdf ./demo-cli/demo_searcher.json+EMAIL` - Using valid searcher key (which exists in the directory 'storage/app/searchers') and displacing all strings found using 'EMAIL' `php artisan sd:run ./demo-cli/demo_document.pdf demo_searcher+EMAIL`
