问题
The goal is to use sed to return only the url from each line of FF extension Mining Blocker which uses this format for its regex lines:
{"baseurl":"*://002.0x1f4b0.com/*", "suburl":"*://*/002.0x1f4b0.com/*"},
{"baseurl":"*://003.0x1f4b0.com/*", "suburl":"*://*/003.0x1f4b0.com/*"},
the result should be:
002.0x1f4b0.com
003.0x1f4b0.com
One way would be to keep everything after suburl":"*://*/ then remove each occurrence of /*"},
I found https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24140/return-only-the-portion-of-a-line-after-a-matching-pattern but the special characters are a problem.
this won't work:
sed -n -e s@^.*suburl":"*://*/@@g hosts
Would someone please show me how to mark the 2 asterisks in the string so they are seen by regex as literal characters, not wildcards?
edit:
sed -n 's#.*://\*/\([^/]\+\)/.*#\1#p' hosts
doesn't work, unfortunately.
regarding character substitution, thanks for directing me to the references.
I reduced the searched-for string to //*/ and used ASCII character codes like this:
sed -n -e s@^.*\d047\d047\d042\d047@@g hosts
Unfortunately, that didn't output any changes to the lines.
My assumptions are:
^.*something specifies everything up to and including the last occurrence of "something" in a line
sed -n -e s@search@@g deletes (replace with nothing) "search" within a line
So, this line:
sed -n -e s@^.*\d047\d047\d042\d047@@g hosts
Should output everything after //*/ in each line...except it doesn't.
What is incorrect with that line?
Regarding deleting everything including and after the first / AFTER that first operation, yes, that's wanted too.
回答1:
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -n 's#.*://\*/\([^/]\+\)/.*#\1#p' file
Match greedily (the longest string that matches) all characters up to ://*/, followed by a group of characters (which will be referred to as \1) that do not match a /, followed by the rest of the line and replace it by the group \1.
N.B. the sed substitution delimiters are arbitrary, in this case chosen to be # so as make pattern matching / easier. Also the character * on the left hand side of the substitution command may be interpreted as a meta character that means zero or more of the previous character/group and so is quoted \* so that it does not mistakenly exert this property. Finally, using the option -n toggles off the usual printing of every thing in the pattern space after all the sed commands have been executed. The p flag on the substitution command, prints the pattern space following a successful substitution, therefore only URL's will appear in the output or nothing.
