#!/bin/bash

# DRY_RUN="echo"
DRY_RUN=""
MY_DOMAIN="my-text-domain"

for PO in *.po; do
  echo "Removing other domains from file: $PO"
  # OTHER_DOMAINS are all the domain that are not MY_DOMAIN
  OTHER_DOMAINS=`grep "# @ " $PO  | grep -v $MY_DOMAIN | sort | uniq | grep -o '\w*'`
  for OTHER_DOMAIN in $OTHER_DOMAINS; do
    echo "  Removing ${OTHER_DOMAIN}..."
    # Replace ever "foreign" strings with a linebreak
    # Begins with "# @ OTHER_DOMAIN" and ends with an empty line
    $DRY_RUN perl -0777 -i -pe "s/# @ ${OTHER_DOMAIN}\n.+?\n\n//smg" $PO
  done
