This script provides a powerful file searching capability with an interactive graphical user interface, making it accessible for users who prefer GUIs over traditional command-line tools. It leverages Zenity for user inputs and selections, and aha for converting grep output to colored HTML, enhancing the readability of search results.
- Interactive GUI: Utilizes Zenity to offer a series of dialog boxes for:
- Selecting files or directories to search within.
- Entering the search term.
- Choosing output formatting (colored or plain text).
- Specifying the output file name.
- Recursive Search: Performs a recursive search for the specified term within files or directories, ensuring thorough content examination.
- Flexible Output Formatting: Offers the option to choose between colored HTML output and plain text, catering to different user preferences and needs.
- Output File Customization: Allows users to define the name and location of the output file where the search results will be saved.
- Immediate Results Viewing: Provides an option to open the output file in the default web browser immediately after the search operation, facilitating quick access to the results.
- Zenity: For the graphical interface dialogs.
- aha: For converting grep output to colored HTML (optional based on user choice).
- grep and find: For searching within files and directories.
Ensure you have Zenity, grep, and find installed on your system. If aha is not installed, the script attempts to install it using pip3. It's recommended to have Python3 and pip installed for this automatic installation to succeed.
- Make the script executable by running
chmod +x dumptool.sh. - Execute the script by running
./dumptool.sh. - Follow the GUI prompts to select your search criteria and output preferences.
