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.
