Help with grep to show date/time of file

Hi,


This is similar to what's been asked in the post below:

grep to show date/time of file the string was found in.


The solution sort of work / not work, the problem is if there is no match, then xargs does a full listing. That is if it found file/s that matches the search string and hence file exist, it does list the files but if it doesn't find a match it do a full listing instead Smilie


See example below:


Code:
$: ls -ltr
total 16
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: grep -il "bad" * | xargs ls -l
-rw-r-----   1 tester   dba           15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: grep -il "corrupt" * | xargs ls -l
total 16
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
$: uname -a
SunOS [hostname] 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc sun4v
$: cat corrupt.txt
BAD FILE FOUND

And just realized I can just actually just do ls -l but it gave me the same behaviour:


Code:
$: ls -l `grep -il "bad" *`
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: ls -l `grep -il "corrupt" *`
total 16
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file5

I guess this is the expected behavior but kinda hoping it'll just do nothing if it doesn't find any or print something maybe instead? Any suggestion?

NAME
Test::WWW::Mechanize::Mojo - Test::WWW::Mechanize for Mojo / Mojolicious SYNOPSIS
# We're in a t/*.t test script... use Test::WWW::Mechanize::Mojo; my $tester = Test::Mojo->new(); # To test a Mojo application my $mech = Test::WWW::Mechanize::Mojo->new(tester => $tester); $mech->get_ok("/"); # no hostname needed is($mech->ct, "text/html"); $mech->title_is("Root", "On the root page"); $mech->content_contains("This is the root page", "Correct content"); $mech->follow_link_ok({text => 'Hello'}, "Click on Hello"); # ... and all other Test::WWW::Mechanize methods # White label site testing $mech->host("foo.com"); $mech->get_ok("/"); DESCRIPTION
Mojo is an MVC Web Application Framework. Test::WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of WWW::Mechanize that incorporates features for web application testing. The Test::WWW::Mechanize::Mojo module meshes the two to allow easy testing of Mojo applications without needing to starting up a web server. Testing web applications has always been a bit tricky, normally requiring starting a web server for your application and making real HTTP requests to it. This module allows you to test Mojo web applications but does not require a server or issue HTTP requests. Instead, it passes the HTTP request object directly to Mojo. Thus you do not need to use a real hostname: "http://localhost/" will do. However, this is optional. The following two lines of code do exactly the same thing: $mech->get_ok('/action'); $mech->get_ok('http://localhost/action'); Links which do not begin with / or are not for localhost can be handled as normal Web requests - this is handy if you have an external single sign-on system. You must set allow_external to true for this: $mech->allow_external(1); You can also test a remote server by setting the environment variable MOJO_SERVER; for example: $ MOJO_SERVER=http://example.com/myapp prove -l t will run the same tests on the application running at http://example.com/myapp regardless of whether or not you specify http:://localhost for Test::WWW::Mechanize::Mojo. Furthermore, if you set MOJO_SERVER, the server will be regarded as a remote server even if your links point to localhost. Thus, you can use Test::WWW::Mechanize::Mojo to test your live webserver running on your local machine, if you need to test aspects of your deployment environment (for example, configuration options in an http.conf file) instead of just the Mojo request handling. This makes testing fast and easy. Test::WWW::Mechanize provides functions for common web testing scenarios. For example: $mech->get_ok( $page ); $mech->title_is( "Invoice Status", "Make sure we're on the invoice page" ); $mech->content_contains( "Andy Lester", "My name somewhere" ); $mech->content_like( qr/(cpan|perl).org/, "Link to perl.org or CPAN" ); This module supports cookies automatically. To use this module you must pass it the name of the application. See the SYNOPSIS above. Note that Mojo has a special developing feature: the debug screen. By default this module will treat responses which are the debug screen as failures. If you actually want to test debug screens, please use: $mmech->{catalyst_debug} = 1; An alternative to this module is Test::Mojo. CONSTRUCTOR
new Behaves like, and calls, WWW::Mechanize's "new" method. Any params passed in get passed to WWW::Mechanize's constructor. Note that we need to pass the name of the Catalyst application to the "use": use Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst; use Test::Mojo; my $tester = Test::Mojo->new(); my $mech = Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst->new(tester => $tester); In addition, one can specify a 'tester' argument as the Test::Mojo instance. METHODS
allow_external Links which do not begin with / or are not for localhost can be handled as normal Web requests - this is handy if you have an external single sign-on system. You must set allow_external to true for this: $m->allow_external(1); head2 mojo_app The name of the Mojo app which we are testing against. Read-only. host The host value to set the "Host:" HTTP header to, if none is present already in the request. If not set (default) then Catalyst::Test will set this to localhost:80 clear_host Unset the host attribute. has_host Do we have a value set for the host attribute $mech->get_ok($url, [ \%LWP_options ,] $desc) A wrapper around WWW::Mechanize's get(), with similar options, except the second argument needs to be a hash reference, not a hash. Returns true or false. $mech->title_is( $str [, $desc ] ) Tells if the title of the page is the given string. $mech->title_is( "Invoice Summary" ); $mech->title_like( $regex [, $desc ] ) Tells if the title of the page matches the given regex. $mech->title_like( qr/Invoices for (.+)/ $mech->title_unlike( $regex [, $desc ] ) Tells if the title of the page does NOT match the given regex. $mech->title_unlike( qr/Invoices for (.+)/ $mech->content_is( $str [, $desc ] ) Tells if the content of the page matches the given string $mech->content_contains( $str [, $desc ] ) Tells if the content of the page contains $str. $mech->content_lacks( $str [, $desc ] ) Tells if the content of the page lacks $str. $mech->content_like( $regex [, $desc ] ) Tells if the content of the page matches $regex. $mech->content_unlike( $regex [, $desc ] ) Tells if the content of the page does NOT match $regex. $mech->page_links_ok( [ $desc ] ) Follow all links on the current page and test for HTTP status 200 $mech->page_links_ok('Check all links'); $mech->page_links_content_like( $regex,[ $desc ] ) Follow all links on the current page and test their contents for $regex. $mech->page_links_content_like( qr/foo/, 'Check all links contain "foo"' ); $mech->page_links_content_unlike( $regex,[ $desc ] ) Follow all links on the current page and test their contents do not contain the specified regex. $mech->page_links_content_unlike(qr/Restricted/, 'Check all links do not contain Restricted'); $mech->links_ok( $links [, $desc ] ) Check the current page for specified links and test for HTTP status 200. The links may be specified as a reference to an array containing WWW::Mechanize::Link objects, an array of URLs, or a scalar URL name. my @links = $mech->find_all_links( url_regex => qr/cnn.com$/ ); $mech->links_ok( @links, 'Check all links for cnn.com' ); my @links = qw( index.html search.html about.html ); $mech->links_ok( @links, 'Check main links' ); $mech->links_ok( 'index.html', 'Check link to index' ); $mech->link_status_is( $links, $status [, $desc ] ) Check the current page for specified links and test for HTTP status passed. The links may be specified as a reference to an array containing WWW::Mechanize::Link objects, an array of URLs, or a scalar URL name. my @links = $mech->links(); $mech->link_status_is( @links, 403, 'Check all links are restricted' ); $mech->link_status_isnt( $links, $status [, $desc ] ) Check the current page for specified links and test for HTTP status passed. The links may be specified as a reference to an array containing WWW::Mechanize::Link objects, an array of URLs, or a scalar URL name. my @links = $mech->links(); $mech->link_status_isnt( @links, 404, 'Check all links are not 404' ); $mech->link_content_like( $links, $regex [, $desc ] ) Check the current page for specified links and test the content of each against $regex. The links may be specified as a reference to an array containing WWW::Mechanize::Link objects, an array of URLs, or a scalar URL name. my @links = $mech->links(); $mech->link_content_like( @links, qr/Restricted/, 'Check all links are restricted' ); $mech->link_content_unlike( $links, $regex [, $desc ] ) Check the current page for specified links and test the content of each does not match $regex. The links may be specified as a reference to an array containing WWW::Mechanize::Link objects, an array of URLs, or a scalar URL name. my @links = $mech->links(); $mech->link_content_like( @links, qr/Restricted/, 'Check all links are restricted' ); follow_link_ok( \%parms [, $comment] ) Makes a "follow_link()" call and executes tests on the results. The link must be found, and then followed successfully. Otherwise, this test fails. %parms is a hashref containing the params to pass to "follow_link()". Note that the params to "follow_link()" are a hash whereas the parms to this function are a hashref. You have to call this function like: $agent->follow_like_ok( {n=>3}, "looking for 3rd link" ); As with other test functions, $comment is optional. If it is supplied then it will display when running the test harness in verbose mode. Returns true value if the specified link was found and followed successfully. The HTTP::Response object returned by follow_link() is not available. CAVEATS
External Redirects and allow_external If you use non-fully qualified urls in your test scripts (i.e. anything without a host, such as "->get_ok( "/foo")" ) and your app redirects to an external URL, expect to be bitten once you come back to your application's urls (it will try to request them on the remote server.) This is due to a limitation in WWW::Mechanize. One workaround for this is that if you are expecting to redirect to an external site, clone the TWMC obeject and use the cloned object for the external redirect. SEE ALSO
