try on your machine
The command "pdf-parser --search=${search_string} ${filename-pdf}" is used to search for a specific string within a PDF document using the pdf-parser tool.
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "pdf-parser": This is the name of the tool or program that is being executed. It is likely a PDF analysis and manipulation tool specifically designed to work with PDF files.
- "--search=${search_string}": This indicates that we want to perform a search within the PDF. The "${search_string}" is a placeholder for the actual string you want to search for. You should replace it with the specific string you are looking for within the PDF document.
- "${filename-pdf}": This is another placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual filename of the PDF you want to search in. It should have the ".pdf" file extension.
To use this command, you should replace "${search_string}" with the text you want to search for and "${filename-pdf}" with the actual filename of the PDF you want to search within. For example, if you want to search for the word "example" in a file named "document.pdf," the command would look like this:
pdf-parser --search=example document.pdf
This command will then execute the pdf-parser tool and search for the specified string within the provided PDF file.
