The following code will use as input one column from a CSV file, and for each element in the column, it will perform a full-text search in a folder to find all files that contain that element.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 | #!/bin/bash#Execution parameters# 1 - the folder to look in for the element# 2 - the input file that contains the search terms# 3 - the column of interest# 4 - the delimiter to use to find the column# e.g. ./searchEachElement.sh ./2\ Print/ book.csv 5 ','folder="$1";input="$2";column="$3";delimiter="$4"while read -r line; do needle=`echo $line | cut -d "$delimiter" -f "$column"`; echo ">>> $needle" find "$folder" -type f -exec grep "$needle" -s -l '{}' \;done < "$input"; |
More information on the full-text search can be found here.
