• Convert timestamps in /var/log/secure to UNIX time

$ cat /var/log/secure | teip -c 1-15 -- date -f- +%s

• Replace 'WORLD' with 'EARTH' on lines containing 'HELLO'

$ cat file | teip -g HELLO -- sed 's/WORLD/EARTH/'

• Make characters upper case in the 2nd field of a CSV (RFC4180)

$ cat file.csv | teip --csv -f 2 -- tr a-z A-Z

• Edit the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fields of a TSV file

$ cat file.tsv | teip -D '\t' -f 2-4 -- tr a-z A-Z

• Edit lines containing 'hello' and the three lines before and after

$ cat access.log | teip -e 'grep -n -C 3 hello' -- sed 's/./@/g'

teip allows a command to focus on its own task.

Here is a comparison of the processing time to replace approx 761,000 IP addresses with dummy ones in a 100 MiB text file.

See detail at wiki > Benchmark.

• Taping: Help the command "do one thing well"

  • Passing a partial range of the standard input to any command — whatever you want
  • The targeted command just actions the passed parts of the standard input
  • Flexible methods for selecting a range (Select like awk, cut or grep)

• High performance

  • The targeted command's standard input/output are written to and read from by multiple teip threads asynchronously.
  • If general UNIX commands in your environment can process a few-hundred MB file in a few seconds, then teip can do the same or better performance.

Try this at first:

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 3

The result is almost the same as the input, but "300" is highlighted and surrounded by [...], because -f 3 specifies the 3rd field of space-separated input.

100 200 [300] 400

Understand that the area enclosed in [...] is a hole in the masking tape.

Next, put the sed and its arguments at the end.

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 3 sed 's/./@/g'

The result is as below. The highlight and [...] will not be present when a command is added.

100 200 @@@ 400

As you can see, the sed command only acted on the input defined by the "hole" and ignored the masked parts. Technically, teip passes only the highlighted part to the sed process, and replaces the highlighted part with the result of the sed command.

Of course, any command you like can be specified. It is called the targeted command in this article.

Let's try cut as the targeted command, to extract the first character only.

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 3 cut -c 1
teip: Invalid arguments.

Oops! Why did this fail?

This is because the cutcommand uses the -c option. An option of the same name is also provided by teip, which is confusing.

When specifying a targeted command to teip, it is better to give it after --. Then, teip interprets any arguments after -- as the targeted command and its arguments.

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 3 -- cut -c 1
100 200 3 400

Great — the first character 3 is extracted from 300!

Although -- is not always necessary, it is always better to use it. So, -- is used in all the examples from here on.

Now let's double these number with awk. The command looks like the following (Note that the variable to be doubled is not $3).

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 3 -- awk '{print $1*2}'
100 200 600 400

OK, the selection in the "hole" went from 300 to 600.

Now, let's change -f 3 to -f 3,4 and run teip.

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 3,4 -- awk '{print $1*2}'
100 200 600 800

The numbers in the 3rd and 4th fields were doubled!

As you may have noticed, the argument to -f is compatible with the LIST of cut. You can refer to cut --help to see how it works.

Examples:

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f -3 -- sed 's/./@/g'
@@@ @@@ @@@ 400

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 2-4 -- sed 's/./@/g'
100 @@@ @@@ @@@

$ echo "100 200 300 400" | teip -f 1- -- sed 's/./@/g'
@@@ @@@ @@@ @@@

The -c option allows you to specify a range by character. The below example is specifying the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th characters and applying the sed command to them.

$ echo ABCDEFG | teip -c 1,3,5,7
[A]B[C]D[E]F[G]

$ echo ABCDEFG | teip -c 1,3,5,7 -- sed 's/./@/'
@B@D@F@

Like -f, the argument to -c is compatible with cut's LIST.

The -f option recognizes delimited fields like awk by default.

Any continuous whitespace (all forms of whitespace categorized by Unicode) is interpreted as a single delimiter.

$ printf "A       B \t\t\t\   C \t D" | teip -f 3 -- sed s/./@@@@/
A       B                       @@@@   C         D

This behavior might be inconvenient for the processing of CSV and TSV.

However, the -d option in conjunction with -f can be used to specify a delimiter. You can process a simple CSV file like this:

$ echo "100,200,300,400" | teip -f 3 -d , -- sed 's/./@/g'
100,200,@@@,400

In order to process TSV, the TAB character must be given at the command line. If you are using Bash, type $'\t' which is in the form of ANSI-C Quoting.

$ printf "100\t200\t300\t400\n" | teip -f 3 -d $'\t' -- sed 's/./@/g'
100     200     @@@     400

teip also provides -D option to specify an extended regular expression as the delimiter. This is useful when you want to ignore consecutive delimiters, or when there are multiple types of delimiter.

$ echo 'A,,,,,B,,,,C' | teip -f 2 -D ',+'
A,,,,,[B],,,,C

$ echo "1970-01-02 03:04:05" | teip -f 2-5 -D '[-: ]'
1970-[01]-[02] [03]:[04]:05

The TAB character regular expression (\t) can also be specified with the -D option.

$ printf "100\t200\t300\t400\n" | teip -f 3 -D '\t' -- sed 's/./@/g'
100     200     @@@     400

For the available regular expression notations, refer to regular expression of Rust.

If you want to process a complex CSV file, such as the one below, which has columns surrounded by double quotes, use the -f option together with the --csv option.

Name,Address,zipcode
Sola Harewatar,"Doreami Road 123
Sorashido city",12877
Yui Nagomi,"Nagomi Street 456, Nagomitei, Oishina town",26930-0312
"Conectol Motimotit Hooklala Glycogen Comex II a.k.a ""Kome kome""","Cooking dam",513123

With --csv, teip will parse the input as a CSV file according to RFC4180. Thus, you can use -f to specify column numbers for CSV files with complex structures.

For example, the CSV above will have a "hole" as shown below.

$ cat tests/sample.csv | teip --csv -f2 
Name,[Address],zipcode
Sola Harewatar,["Doreami Road 123]
[Sorashido city"],12877
Yui Nagomi,["Nagomi Street 456, Nagomitei, Oishina town"],26930-0312
"Conectol Motimotit Hooklala Glycogen Comex II a.k.a ""Kome kome""",["Cooking dam"],513123

Because -f2 was specified, there is a hole in the second column of each row. The following command is an example of rewriting all characters in the second column to "@".

$ cat tests/sample.csv  | teip --csv -f2 -- sed 's/[^"]/@/g'
Name,@@@@@@@,zipcode
Sola Harewatar,"@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",12877
Yui Nagomi,"@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@",26930-0312
"Conectol Motimotit Hooklala Glycogen Comex II a.k.a ""Kome kome""","@@@@@@@@@@@",513123

Notes for the --csv option:

• Double quotes " surrounding fields are also included in the holes.
• Escaped double quotes "" are treated as-is; two double quotes "" are given as input to the targeted command.
• Fields containing newlines will have multiple holes, separated by newlines, instead of a single hole.
  • However, if the -s or -z option is used, such a field is treated as a single hole, and line breaks are included.

You can also use -g to select a specific line matching a regular expression as the hole location.

$ echo -e "ABC1\nEFG2\nHIJ3" | teip -g '[GJ]\d'
ABC1
[EFG2]
[HIJ3]

By default, the entire line containing the pattern is the range of holes. With the -o option, the range of the holes will ony cover the matched range.

$ echo -e "ABC1\nEFG2\nHIJ3" | teip -og '[GJ]\d'
ABC1
EF[G2]
HI[J3]

Note that -og is one of the most useful idioms and is frequently used in this manual.

Here is an example using \d, which matches numbers.

$ echo ABC100EFG200 | teip -og '\d+'
ABC[100]EFG[200]

$ echo ABC100EFG200 | teip -og '\d+' -- sed 's/.*/@@@/g'
ABC@@@EFG@@@

This feature is quite versatile and can be useful for handling files that have no fixed form such as logs, markdown, etc.

teip passes the strings from the hole line-by-line, so that each hole is one line of input. Therefore, a targeted command must follow the below rule.

• A targeted command must print a single line of result for each line of input.

In the simplest example, the cat command always succeeds, because the cat prints the same number of lines as it is given in input.

$ echo ABCDEF | teip -og . -- cat
ABCDEF

If the above rule is not satisfied, the result will be inconsistent. For example, grep may fail. Here is an example.

$ echo ABCDEF | teip -og .
[A][B][C][D][E][F]

$ echo ABCDEF | teip -og . -- grep '[ABC]'
ABC
teip: Output of given command is exhausted

$ echo $?
1

teip did not receive results corresponding to the holes of D, E, and F. That is why the above example fails.

If an inconsistency occurs, teip will exit with the error message. Also, the exit status will be 1.

To learn more about teip's behavior, see Wiki > Chunking.

If you want to use a command that does not satisfy the condition, "A targeted command must print a single line of result for each line of input", enable "Solid mode" with the -s option.

Solid mode spawns the targeted command multiple times: once for each hole in the input.

$ echo ABCDEF | teip -s -og . -- grep '[ABC]'

In the above example, understand that the following commands are executed by teip internally:

$ echo A | grep '[ABC]' # => A
$ echo B | grep '[ABC]' # => B
$ echo C | grep '[ABC]' # => C
$ echo D | grep '[ABC]' # => Empty
$ echo E | grep '[ABC]' # => Empty
$ echo F | grep '[ABC]' # => Empty

The empty result is replaced with an empty string. Therefore, D, E, and F are replaced with the empty string.

$ echo ABCDEF | teip -s -og . -- grep '[ABC]'
ABC

$ echo $?
0

However, this option is not suitable for processing large files because of its high overhead, which can significantly degrade performance.

If you want to use the contents of the hole as an argument to the targeted command, use the -I option.

$ echo AAA BBB CCC | teip -f 2 -I @ -- echo '[@]'
AAA [BBB] CCC

<replace-str> can be any string, and multiple characters are allowed.

$ seq 5 | teip -f 1 -I NUMBER -- awk 'BEGIN{print NUMBER * 3}'
3
6
9
12
15

Please note that -s is automatically enabled with -I. Therefore, it is not suitable for processing huge files. In addition, the targeted command does not get any input from stdin. The targeted command is expected to work without stdin.

If the -s option does not work as expected, --chomp may be helpful.

A targeted command in solid mode always accepts input with a newline (\x0A) at the end. This is because teip assumes the use of commands which return a single line of output in response to a single line of input. Therefore, even if there is no line break in the hole, a line break is added, to ensure it is treated as a single line of input.

However, there are situations where this behavior is inconvenient. For example, when using commands whose behavior changes depending on the presence or absence of a newline.

$ echo AAABBBCCC | teip -og BBB -s
AAA[BBB]CCC
$ echo AAABBBCCC | teip -og BBB -s -- tr '\n' '@'
AAABBB@CCC

The above is an example where the targeted command is: "tr command which converts newlines (\x0A) to @". "BBB" does not contain a newline, but the output is "BBB@", because implicitly-added line breaks have been processed. To prevent this behavior, use the --chomp option. This option gives the targeted command pure input with no newlines added.

$ echo AAABBBCCC | teip -og BBB -s --chomp -- tr '\n' '@'
AAABBBCCC

--chomp is useful whenever using commands which interpret and process input as binary such as tr. Below is an example of "removing newlines from the second column of a CSV which contains newlines.

$ cat tests/sample.csv
Name,Address,zipcode
Sola Harewatar,"Doreami Road 123
Sorashido city",12877

The result is:

$ cat tests/sample.csv | teip --csv -f 2 -s --chomp -- tr '\n' '@'
Name,Address,zipcode
Sola Harewatar,"Doreami Road 123@Sorashido city",12877

You can specify a line number and drill holes only in that line.

$ echo -e "ABC\nDEF\nGHI" | teip -l 2
ABC
[DEF]
GHI

$ echo -e "ABC\nDEF\nGHI" | teip -l 1,3
[ABC]
DEF
[GHI]

Any command can be used with teip, surprisingly, even if it is teip itself.

$ echo "AAA@@@@@AAA@@@@@AAA" | teip -og '@.*@'
AAA[@@@@@AAA@@@@@]AAA

$ echo "AAA@@@@@AAA@@@@@AAA" | teip -og '@.*@' -- teip -og 'A+'
AAA@@@@@[AAA]@@@@@AAA

$ echo "AAA@@@@@AAA@@@@@AAA" | teip -og '@.*@' -- teip -og 'A+' -- tr A _
AAA@@@@@___@@@@@AAA

In other words, by composing multiple functions of teip with AND conditions, it is possible to drill holes in a more complex range. Furthermore, this works asynchronously and in multi-processes, similar to the shell pipeline. Performance will hardly degrade unless the machine reaches the limits of parallelism.

If -G option is given together with -g, the regular expressin is interpreted as an Oniguruma regular expression. For example, "keep" and "look-ahead" syntax can be used.

$ echo 'ABC123DEF456' | teip -G -og 'DEF\K\d+'
ABC123DEF[456]

$ echo 'ABC123DEF456' | teip -G -og '\d+(?=D)'
ABC[123]DEF456

If a blank field exists when the -f option is used, the blank is not ignored and is treated as an empty hole.

$ echo ',,,' | teip -d , -f 1-
[],[],[],[]

Therefore, the following command can work (Note that .* matches empty values as well).

$ echo ',,,' | teip -f 1- -d, sed 's/.*/@@@/'
@@@,@@@,@@@,@@@

In the above example, the sed command reads four newline characters and prints @@@ four times.

The -v option allows you to invert the range of holes. When the -f or -c option is used with -v, holes are made in the complement of the specified field.

$ echo 1 2 3 4 5 | teip -v -f 1,3,5 -- sed 's/./_/'
1 _ 3 _ 5

Of course, -v can also be used with -og.

$ printf 'AAA\n123\nBBB\n' | teip -og '\d+' -- sed 's/./@/g'
@@@
123
@@@

If you want to process the data in a more flexible way, the -z option may be useful. This option allows you to use the NUL character (the ASCII NUL character) as a line delimiter, instead of the newline character. It behaves like -z provided by GNU sed or GNU grep, or the -0 option provided by xargs.

$ printf '111,\n222,33\n3\0\n444,55\n5,666\n' | teip -z -f3 -d,
111,
222,[33
3]
444,55
5,[666]

With this option, the standard input is interpreted per each NUL character rather than per each newline character. You should also pay attention to the fact that strings in the hole have the NUL character appended instead of a newline character.

If you use a targeted command that cannot handle NUL characters (and cannot print NUL-separated results), the final result can be unintended.

$ printf '111,\n222,33\n3\0\n444,55\n5,666\n' | teip -z -f3 -d, -- sed -z 's/.*/@@@/g'
111,

444,55

$ printf '111,\n222,33\n3\0\n444,55\n5,666\n' | teip -z -f3 -d, -- sed 's/.*/@@@/g'
111,
222,@@@
@@@
444,55
5,teip: Output of given command is exhausted

This option is useful for treating multiple lines as a single combined input.

$ cat test.html | teip -z -og '<body>.*</body>'
<html>
<head>
  <title>AAA</title>
</head>
[<body>
  <div>AAA</div>
  <div>BBB</div>
  <div>CCC</div>
</body>]
</html>

$ cat test.html | teip -z -og '<body>.*</body>' -- grep -a BBB
<html>
<head>
  <title>AAA</title>
</head>
  <div>BBB</div>
</html>

-e is the option to use external commands to define pattern matching. Without -e, you must use teip's own functions, such as -c or -g, to control the position of the holes on the masking tape. With -e, however, you can use the external commands you are familiar with to specify the range of holes.

-e allows you to specify a shell pipeline as a string. On a UNIX-like OS, this pipeline is executed via /bin/sh; on Windows via cmd.exe.

For example, given a simple pipeline echo 3, which outputs 3, only the third line will be actioned by teip.

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC' | teip -e 'echo 3'
AAA
BBB
[CCC]

This works even if the -e output is somewhat "dirty". For example, if spaces or tab characters are included at the beginning of the -e output, they are ignored. Also, once a number is seen, all non-numerical characters to the right of the number are ignored.

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC' | teip -e 'echo " 3"'
AAA
BBB
[CCC]
$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC' | teip -e 'echo " 3:testtest"'
AAA
BBB
[CCC]

Technically, the first captured group in the regular expression ^\s*([0-9]+) is interpreted as a line number.

-e will also recognize multiple numbers if the pipeline provides multiple lines of numbers. For example, the seq command to display only odd numbers up to 10 is

$ seq 1 2 10
1
3
5
7
9

This means that only odd-numbered rows can be actioned by specifying the following:

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | teip -e 'seq 1 2 10' -- sed 's/. /@/g'
@@@
BBB
@@@
DDD
@@@
FFF

Note that the order of the numbers must be ascending. Now, on its own, this looks like a feature that is just a slight improvement of the -l option.

However, the breakthrough feature of -e is that the pipeline obtains identical standard input as the main teip command. Thus, it generates output using not only seq and echo, but also commands such as grep, sed, and awk, which process the standard input.

Let's look at a more concrete example. The following is a grep command that prints the line numbers of the line containing the string "CCC" and the two lines after it.

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | grep -n -A 2 CCC
3:CCC
4-DDD
5-EEE

If you give this command to -e, you can punch holes in the line containing the string "CCC" and the two lines after it!

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | teip -e 'grep -n -A 2 CCC'
AAA
BBB
[CCC]
[DDD]
[EEE]
FFF

grep is not the only useful command for -e. GNU sed has =, which prints the line number being processed. Below is an example of how to use = to drill from the line containing "BBB" to the line containing "EEE".

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | teip -e 'sed -n "/BBB/,/EEE/="'
AAA
[BBB]
[CCC]
[DDD]
[EEE]
FFF

Of course, similar operations can also be done with awk.

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | teip -e 'awk "/BBB/,/EEE/{print NR}"'

The following is an example of combining the commands nl and tail. You can make holes in only the last three lines of input!

$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | teip -e 'nl -ba | tail -n 3'
AAA
BBB
CCC
[DDD]
[EEE]
[FFF]

The argument to -e is a single string. The pipe (|) and other symbols can be used within it.

There are several experimental options which are aliases of -e and specific directives. These options may be discontinued in the future since they are only experimental. Do not use them in a script or something that is not a one-off.

This is an alias of -e 'grep -n -A <number> <pattern>'. If it is used together with -g <pattern>, it makes holes in rows matching <pattern>, and <number> rows after the match.

$ cat AtoG.txt | teip -g B -A 2
A
[B]
[C]
[D]
E
F
G

This is an alias of -e 'grep -n -B <number> <pattern>' If it is used together with -g <pattern>, it makes holes in rows matching <pattern>, and <number> rows before the match.

$ cat AtoG.txt | teip -g E -B 2
A
B
[C]
[D]
[E]
F
G

This is an alias of -e 'grep -n -C <number> <pattern>'. If it is used together with -g <pattern>, it makes holes in rows matching <pattern>, and <number> rows before and after the match.

$ cat AtoG.txt | teip -g E -C 2
A
B

teip refers to the following environment variables. Add a statement to your default shell's startup file (i.e .bashrc, .zshrc) to change them as you like.

DEFAULT VALUE: \x1b[36m[\x1b[0m\x1b[01;31m{}\x1b[0m\x1b[36m]\x1b[0m

The default format for highlighting holes. It must include at least one {} as a placeholder.

Example:

$ export TEIP_HIGHLIGHT="<<<{}>>>"
$ echo ABAB | teip -og A
<<<A>>>B<<<A>>>B

$ export TEIP_HIGHLIGHT=$'\x1b[01;31m{}\x1b[0m'
$ echo ABAB | teip -og A
ABAB  ### Same color as grep

ANSI Escape Sequences and ANSI-C Quoting are helpful for customizing this value.

DEFAULT VALUE: grep

The path to the grep command used by the -A, -B, and -C options. For example, if you want to use ggrep instead of grep, set this variable to ggrep.

$ export TEIP_GREP_PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin/ggrep
$ echo -e 'AAA\nBBB\nCCC\nDDD\nEEE\nFFF' | teip -g CCC -A 2
AAA
BBB
[CCC]
[DDD]
[EEE]
FFF

DEFAULT VALUE: sed

The path to the sed command used by the --sed option. For example, if you want to use gsed instead of sed, set this variable to gsed.

DEFAULT VALUE: awk

The path to the awk command used by the --awk option. For example, if you want to use gawk instead of awk, set this variable to gawk.
