[0.100 bytes] - 0 to 100 bytes [.100000 bytes] - up to 100000 bytes [1.* bytes] - 1 to default maximum bytes [2 chars] - exactly 2 chars [30 bytes] - exactly 30 bytes [byte of aeiou] - one vocal (a OR A OR e OR ...), case insensitive by default. "aeiou" is a character list. [byte of \\\x2f] - a backslash \ or forw. slash / [bytes of \r\n \t] - whitespace incl. line ends [bytes of (\r\n \t)] - the same, () are optional [bytes not \r\n\0] - up to 4000 bytes as long as no CR, LF or NULL byte appears [chars] - the same as [bytes not \r\n\0], i.e. collect text in a line [char not ( \t)] - same as [byte not ( \r\n\0\t)], everything not blanks and tabs [char not )( \t] - not brackets, blanks and tabs, same as not (\(\) \t) [chars of a-z0-9] - means a-zA-Z0-9 as search is case insensitive by default [chars of \x61-\x7A] - search a-z but not A-Z, or use option -case for case search [eol] - end of line by characters: CRLF or LF or CR [white] = chars of (\t ) - 0 or more whitespaces [xwhite] = bytes of (\t \r\n) - same but across lines [1 white] = byte of (\t ) - 1 whitespace [digit] = byte of (0-9) - 1 digit [digits] = bytes of (0-9) - 0 or more digits [hexdigit] = byte of (0-9a-f) - 1 hexadecimal digit [hexdigits] = bytes of (0-9a-f) - 0 or more hex digits special keywords that do not count as tokens: [skip] - at the start of a pattern: skip such text completely, do not count it as a search hit. [keep] - search also the following text but keep it in the input data, without consuming it. [ortext] - foo[ortext]bar searches word foo or bar. [ortext] is allowed only between literals. anchors that have no length of their own: [start] - start of file [end] - end of file [lstart] - line start, i.e. start or CRLF or CR or LF [lend] - logical line end, i.e. eol or end of file. to replace line ends use [eol] instead. how to search or replace special characters: - to search or replace text containing the literal characters * ? \ [ ] then these must be escaped like \* \? \\ \[ \] - ( ) are escaped only within character lists, like \( \) - to search or replace the forward slash '/' type \x2f or use another char around from/to text, e.g. _fromtext_totext_ - parameters with blanks and non trivial characters need double quotes "", see also "about Shell Command Characters" below. expansion priorities: (highest first) if two search parts are side by side, and the same input character matches both, then these priorities apply: 5: start, end, lstart, lend 4: literal text, eol 3: whitelist classes: byte of, bytes of 2: blacklist classes: chars not, bytes not 1: plain wildcards: ?, *, **, byte, bytes, chars this means in "/[bytes]foo/" the [bytes] will stop to collect characters as soon as "foo" is found, as "foo" is a literal. on same or higher priority the right side stops the left side. the totext may contain: [part 1] use first text part of the fromtext. e.g. the fromtext /*foo[.100 chars]bar*/ contains parts : 1 2 3 4 5 [part1] the same (blank is optional). [parts 1,2,3] use parts 1, 2 and 3. [parts 1-10] use parts 1 to 10. [strip(part1,\0)] use part 1 but remove zero bytes. only zero bytes "\0" can be removed. [file.name] full input filename with path [file.relname] input filename without path [file.path] input file's path [file.base] relname without last .extension [file.ext] input filename extension [all] use all parts from fromtext. [setvar name]...[endvar] set variable "name" with data between setvar and endvar. [getvar name] fill in data from variable "name" although anchors like lstart, lend count as a separate part they need NOT be specified in the totext. this means that /[lstart]foo[lend]/bar/ just changes the word "foo". supported slash patterns \t = TAB \r = CR \n = LF \x00 = one byte with code 00 hexadecimal \0 = short form for \x00 \q = a double quote " \\ = the backslash character \ itself \[ = the bracket open character [ \] = the bracket close character ] \* = the literal star character * \? = the literal question mark ? \- = to use literal "-" in a command Within multi line -bylist files: \ = slash+blank is changed to a single blank Only within "char of" or "byte not" lists: \( = to use literal character "(" \) = to use literal character ")" SFK expression options -showpart(s) print /from/ part numbers, range statistics and expansion priority points per part. done automatically if a required /to/ text is not given with a command. -showbest if a /from/ pattern finds nothing, use this to see how many parts would match so far, and with up to how many bytes per part. anchors like [lstart] may show a non zero length when matching (CR)LF. -showlist with -bylist, show the internal joined list if commands are spread across multiple lines. -showall show all of the above. -xmaxlen=n set default maximum length for chars or bytes commands, e.g. -xmaxlen=10000 means /foo*bar/ matches with up to 10000 characters between foo and bar. the default max length without this option is 4000 characters. performance notes - always use a string literal, or single byte or char, at the start of your search expressions, like in /foo*bar/ starting with 'f'. Do not use a wildcard like * at the start like in /*foobar/ when searching huge input data, as your search will slow down by factor 256. Use /[lstart]*foobar/ instead. - the system may cache output file(s), writing to disk in background after sfk has finished. subsequent batch commands may execute slower. options -case compare case sensitive, default is nocase. for further options see: sfk help nocase -bylist x read /from/to/ patterns from a file x, supporting multiple lines per pattern. for details type: sfk rep -full -bylinelist x read /from/to/ or just /from/ patterns from a file with one pattern per line. best for searching many phrases with simple or no output reformatting. -i process text stream from standard input -tolines force output as text lines. use this if you get unexpected hex data. -nomark do not highlight changes in output -nocol no colors at all to allow more memory -write if input filename is given, rewrite file with the changed data. produces an empty file if search patterns are not found. -tofile f write output to file f. do not use +tofile chaining as it splits data into text lines. -rawterm on output to terminal do not strip codes below 32. Null bytes are always stripped. -dump[raw] create hex dump [raw = w/o eol highlight] -crlf, -lf for file headers and default totext: force crlf or lf line endings instead of default -justrc print no output, just set return code. -firsthit use only first matching result. chaining I/O support extract ... +xed supports binary data transfer. xed ... +xed supports binary data transfer. In all other cases like xed ... +filter data is passed as text lines without zero bytes and up to 4000 chars per line. Binary transfer needs four times free memory available then the actual number of bytes passed. unexpected hex data with xed chaining if you use xed and get an unexpected hex output like 746573746... it means a following command cannot handle stream data. use option -tolines then. unexpected line breaks with +tofile happen if lines are longer then 4096 chars. use -tofile instead. happen if data contains carriage return chars. add "/\r//" to remove them. see also sfk swap change single line character order web access support extracting the head section from a web page can be done like: sfk xex http://192.168.1.100/ "_<head>**</head>_" sfk xex http://.100/ "_<head>**</head>_" sfk web .100 +xex "_<head>**</head>_" archive file reading xed may directly read archive file entries like src.zip\\sub1.bz2\\sub2.tar.gz. for details and limitations type "sfk help xe". beware of Shell Command Characters. to find or replace text patterns containing spaces or special characters like <>|!&?* you must add quotes "" around parameters or the shell environment will destroy your command. for example, pattern /foo bar/other/ must be written like "/foo bar/other/" within a .bat or .cmd file the percent % must be escaped like %% even within quotes: sfk echo -spat "percent %% is a percent \x25" unexpected repeat replace behaviour depending on the input data and search/replace expressions, it can happen that running the same replace multiple times on the same stream produces further hits that didn't exist in the first run. read the sfk replace extended help text by "sfk replace -full" for details. quoted multi line parameters are supported in scripts using full trim. type "sfk script" for details. return codes for batch files 0 = no matches, 1 = matches found, >1 = major error occurred. see also "sfk help opt" on how to influence error processing. about example numbers with [brackets] if you see [1] type "sfk cmd 1" for whole command in one line. web reference http://stahlworks.com/sfk-xex more in the SFK Book the SFK Book contains a 60 page tutorial, including detailed xed examples with input, script and output. type "sfk book" for details. examples Note: also see "sfk xed" for further examples. sfk xex in.txt "_foo*bar_[part2]\n_" extract any text found within the same line between foo and bar, using "_" as separator character instead of "/". you may leave out the third "_" to get an info text listing part numbers. sfk xex in.txt "_\qfoo\q[.100 bytes]\qbar\q_[all]\n_" extract any text starting with "foo" enclosed by double quotes, then having up to 100 bytes (including CR or LF, i.e. across multiple text lines), then ending with bar enclosed by double quotes, and print all parts. sfk xex in.cpp "/printf([bytes]);/[all]\n/" +xed "/);[eol]/[all]/" "/[eol][.100 bytes of \x20]/ /" collect all (multi line) printf statements from a text and reformat them as one statement per line. notice that "/);[eol]/[all]/" is a cover pattern, meaning it does not change anything, but keeps line endings after ");" from being changed by other patterns.
