ODFSEARCH(1)

🦋 ODFSEARCH(1) — the odfsearch manual, bestie 🦋

okay so this page comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about the odfsearch manual. It's a sample script, and it's giving useful ✨ main-character energy ✨ in the best way.

🎀 NAME 🎀

odfsearch — text selection and copy from one document to another using callback. That's the whole vibe: one document to another, with callback in the mix 💖.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the tea: this sample script extracts the content of every text element — paragraph, header, list item — in a source document that matches a given pattern (string or regex). Then it appends that content as a new paragraph to a target document. Slay.

⚠️ target document check: the target document must exist. It can be an empty document or a template. For real, it must exist — no cap.

and here's the usage line, literally exactly:

usage : odfsearch target_file source_file "search_string"

🫶 that's the whole manual, bestie. it's perl v5.42.3, dated 2010-07-12, and it's ODFSEARCH(1). periodt 💅✨
