@yogibear951 Sure thing! Yes, gematrix.org with:

- repeated phrases (sometimes words) in President Trump's speeches;
- capital letters in Presidential tweets

Wrote a "capsonly" script to help with the latter, documented it, let me find it:

(more on grep)

@yogibear951 This is a Mac Mini; saves HTML to ~/Downloads, and I configured the screenshot to save to ~/Desktop (or it was like that?).

I start the Terminal application, type "cd Downloads", and then to find it I tried a few greps; now that I know what to look for, I'll walk through it:

@yogibear951 First, see if there's anything: "grep -i fasting *.htm*", and that gives a ton of output.

So add something else: "grep -i fasting *.htm* | grep -i two"; still lots of output (sometimes very little and I get the answer then).

So, narrow further; let's remove the file names. --

@yogibear951 I still couldn't find it. So -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH for asking! Generally I save. I guess since this one was a "double hop", I didn't save the second hop.

Now I have, and I'll continue! 😀❤️

One can tell grep to "only show filename"; however, since I'm piping it into another

@yogibear951 grep, which is searching for something in the output text, I don't want to strip the output text at that point. And I can't tell the second grep to, because the filename at that point isn't separate from the input text stream.

"sed" can do this though; the following command --

@yogibear951 removes everything from the ":" to the end of the line (the "$" means that):

grep -i fasting *.htm* | grep -i two | sed "s/:.*$//"

And what I see is:

Words equals 4518 in Gematria - English, Hebrew and Simple Gematria Calculator Values.html

So, now I can open that in browser,

@yogibear951 and then search within the results to more easily find what I'm looking for, since the HTML that comes out of the first couple "grep" commands is like "wall of text" to read, not simple blonde, brunette, redhead.



Love that the URL ends in "EYE". To see!

@yogibear951 @threadreaderapp this seems generally useful, please unroll, thanks!
