A Matrix bot to use grep for searching in large messages using my own API
You can download the bot here
Just run the bot once (java -jar MatrixGrepBot.jar) to create the config.json or create a file in the same directory and paste
{
"host": "http://matrix.com",
"username": "grepbot",
"password": "",
"usertoken": ""
}then fill the json with your data and save it. Then start the bot again. Thats it.
Note: If a password is given, the config removes it and replace the token with the token of the given user
If you want to use a usertoken, be sure the passwordfield is blank!
Invite the bot to a room. It will join automatically. Then reply on a message with !grep <search pattern> or ! grep <search pattern>
Note Currently the bot only supports casesensitive search
The nextBatch-file is a file you shouldnt delete unless you want to run all past !grep commands again because it saves the sync-state
