x-search
x-search is a simple cli-tool to search within XML-files on your filesystem with XPath (v3.1).
Installation
x-search can be used as a local npm-package or as binary (see releases). To build from scratch run the following commands:
npm i
npm pkg-build
If you want to use the executable binary just store an alias in your terminal configuration and you're good to go:
alias xs="/your-path-to-the-binary/x-search-arm64 xs"
Usage
Assuming you want to find all occurences of <p/> in a TEI-XML-file named test.xml run:
xs test.xml -q //p
To-Dos
- Implement recursive search in folders
