dumpaddress

Python 3.3+ Supported. No Python 2.x. Sorry.

Command line tool for extracting addresses like urls and email addresses from any text file. Uses the right method for the job:

• Emails are extracted using string processing instead of regular expressions due to the complexity of RFC 5822.
• URLs are extracted using a very well designed regex.
• Links are extracted by parsing the href attribute of tags. You can also supply a value to prepend urls.

Installation

Notes

• This was written to try out the excellent click command line framework (http://click.pocoo.org/3/).
• Python 3 only. This does not support Python 2x. Really, let's move on to Python 3 already. It's really worth it.
• Regular Expressions are useful when they work, but can create very subtle failures. The URL probably has more than one way it will fail to get urls, but it works well enough.
• email_regex works pretty well. email works a little better but is slower.

Known Issues

• link extraction just prepends whatever prepend value you give it. It does not currently check if there is an existing domain.
