pdfgrep:tldr:c20bd
The command "pdfgrep --recursive --include ${'*book-pdf'} ${pattern}" is used to search for a specific pattern in multiple PDF files.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"pdfgrep": This is the main command that is being executed. It is a tool designed to search text in PDF files.
-
"--recursive": This flag indicates that the search should be performed recursively, meaning it will search for the pattern in all subdirectories as well.
-
"--include ${'book-pdf'}": This flag is used to specify the type or format of the files to include in the search. In this case, it uses a wildcard pattern "${'book-pdf'}" to match any file name that ends with "book-pdf". For example, it would match "example-book-pdf.pdf" but not "example.pdf".
-
"${pattern}": This is the actual pattern or text string that you want to search for in the PDF files. You need to replace "${pattern}" with the specific pattern you are looking for.
By using this command, you can search for a specific pattern in multiple PDF files, including subdirectories, that match the wildcard type specified.
