Python library providing file search tools.
The basic principle of searchkit is that you add one or more file or path and then register one or more search against those paths. Searches are executed in parallel and different types are supported such as simple one line search or multiline/sequence search. Constraints can optionally be applied to searches.
Different types of search are supported. Add one or more search definition to a FileSearcher object, registering them against a file, directory or glob path. Results are collected and returned as a SearchResultsCollection which provides different ways to retrieve results.
The SearchDef class supports matching one or more patterns against each line in a file. Patterns are executed until the first match is found.
When defining a search, you can optionally specify field names so that result values can be retrieved by name rather than index e.g. for the following content:
PID TTY TIME CMD
111024 pts/4 00:00:00 bash
111031 pts/4 00:00:00 ps
You can define as search as follows:
SearchDef(r'.*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)')and retrieve results with:
for r in results:
pid = r.get(1)
tty = r.get(2)
time = r.get(3)
cmd = r.get(4)or alternatively:
for r in results:
pid, tty, time, cmd = ror you can provide field names and types:
fields = ResultFieldInfo({'PID': int, 'TTY': str, 'TIME': str, 'CMD': str})
SearchDef(r'.*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)', field_info=fields)and retrieve results with:
for r in results:
pid = r.PID
tty = r.TTY
time = r.TIME
cmd = r.CMDThe SequenceSearchDef class supports matching string sequences ("sections") over multiple lines by matching a start, end and optional body in between. These section components are each defined with their own SearchDef object.
If searching e.g. a log file where each line starts with a timestamp and you only want results that match after a specific time then you can use search.constraints.SearchConstraintSearchSince and apply to either the whole file or each line in turn. The latter allows constraints to be associated with a SearchDef and therefore only apply within the context of that search.
searchkit is packaged in pypi and can be installed as follows:
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip install searchkitAn example simple search is as follows:
from searchkit import FileSearcher, SearchDef
fname = 'foo.txt'
open(fname, 'w').write('the quick brown fox')
fs = FileSearcher()
fs.add(SearchDef(r'.+ \S+ (\S+) .+'), fname)
results = fs.run()
for r in results.find_by_path(fname):
print(r.get(1))An example sequence search is as follows:
from searchkit import FileSearcher, SequenceSearchDef, SearchDef
content = """
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'foo'"""
fname = 'my.log'
open(fname, 'w').write(content)
start = SearchDef(r'Traceback')
body = SearchDef(r'.+')
# terminate sequence with start of next or EOF so no end def needed.
fs = FileSearcher()
fs.add(SequenceSearchDef(start, tag='myseq', body=body), fname)
results = fs.run()
for seq, results in results.find_sequence_by_tag('myseq').items():
for r in results:
if 'body' in r.tag:
print(r.get(0))An example search with constraints is as follows:
from searchkit import FileSearcher, SearchDef
from searchkit.constraints import SearchConstraintSearchSince, TimestampMatcherBase
class MyDateTimeMatcher(TimestampMatcherBase):
@property
def patterns(self):
return [r'^(?P<year>\d{4})-(?P<month>\d{2})-(?P<day>\d{2}) '
r'(?P<hours>\d{2}):(?P<minutes>\d{2}):(?P<seconds>\d{2})']
fname = 'foo.txt'
with open(fname, 'w') as fd:
fd.write('2023-01-01 12:34:24 feeling cold\n')
fd.write('2023-06-01 12:34:24 feeling hot')
today = '2023-06-02 12:34:24'
constraint = SearchConstraintSearchSince(today, None,
ts_matcher_cls=MyDateTimeMatcher)
fs = FileSearcher(constraint=constraint)
fs.add(SearchDef(r'\S+ \S+ \S+ (\S+)'), fname)
results = fs.run()
for r in results.find_by_path(fname):
print(r.get(1) == 'hot')
