htmlq is a command-line tool that allows you to query HTML using CSS selectors or XPATH and retrieve the corresponding text content (similar to JavaScript's document.querySelector(query).textContent).
usage: htmlq 1.0.5 [-h|--help] [-f|--file "<value>"] [-t|--text "<value>"]
[-u|--url "<value>"] [-x|--XPATH] [-a|--SelectorAll]
[-r|--ResultAsNode] [-l|--PrintLastResult]
[--PrintLastResultTemp] [--PrintQuerysInAllResult]
[--PrintTextInAllResult "<value>"] [-H|--headers "<value>"
[-H|--headers "<value>" ...]] [-v|--verbose] -q|--querys
"<value>" [-q|--querys "<value>" ...]
A command-line tool that allows you to query HTML using CSS
selectors or XPATH and retrieve the corresponding text
content (similar to JavaScript's
`document.querySelector(query).textContent`)
Arguments:
-h --help Print help information
-f --file Enter the relative or absolute path of the HTML
file
-t --text Enter the HTML text content
-u --url Enter the URL of the HTML
-x --XPATH Enable default XPATH query syntax instead of
CSS Selectors. Default: false
-a --SelectorAll Enable the SelectorAll mechanism. When there
are multiple results for a single query, it
will return all the results (similar to
querySelectorAll). By default, it is not
enabled, and only a single result is returned
(similar to querySelector).. Default: false
-r --ResultAsNode Enable using the Node from the previous query
result as the current query's root Node.
Default: false
-l --PrintLastResult Enable printing the content of the last result
in the output when using the "#lastresult"
syntax in the query. Default: false
--PrintLastResultTemp Enable printing the temporary content of the
source data as last result in the output, when
using the "#lastresult" syntax in query.
Default: false
--PrintQuerysInAllResult Enable printing of query conditions in
results.. Default: false
--PrintTextInAllResult Enter a text content for printing in all
results. If the content contains "#{serial
number}", the content of the specified serial
number's result will be automatically printed
in all results following that serial number.
-H --headers When the query item is a table or multiple td
fields, you can enter corresponding names for
each individual field in a single query using
the format "#{serial
number}:header1Name;header2Name;header3Name;...",
where the serial number represents the Nth
query starting from zero.
-v --verbose verbose
-q --querys Enter a query value to retrieve the Node Text
of the target HTML. The default query method is
CSS Selectors, but it can be changed to XPATH
using "-x" or "--XPATH". Both query methods can
be mixed. When a query starts with "C:", it
represents CSS Selectors, and when it starts
with "X:", it represents XPATH.
You can enter multiple query values separated by spaces and return all the
results.
* When the "--ResultNode" is enabled, you can use the following special query
values to change the current position of the
HTML Node:
- Parent: Move the Node up one level
- NextSibling: Move the Node to the next sibling in the same level
- PrevSibling: Move the Node to the previous sibling in the same level
- FirstChild: Move the Node to the first child in the same level
- LastChild: Move the Node to the last child in the same level
- reset: Restore the Node to the root node of the original input
* When using the "#lastresult" query syntax, the text content of the previous
query will automatically replace
"#lastresult".
Example: --ResultNode -q Query1 Parent Query2 NextSibling Query3 LastChild
C:Query4 reset X:Query5
Note: In command-line, to break a line in Linux you use "\", while in Windows you use "^".
