Searches through input and outputs sequences that are repeated. Because it's intended for text files, control characters are ignored.
FindPatterns [filename] [-b] [-e] [-i] [-o] [-v] [-m] [-l] [-g] [-?|h]
| filename | Attempt to read input from this file, otherwise uses stdin. |
|---|---|
| -b | Keep a buffer to count repeated matches (!o -> b.) |
| -e | Echo input. |
| -i | Case-insensitive (not implemented.) |
| -n | Don't display matches at the end. |
| -o | Output matches immediately as they are found. |
| -s | Silent mode - plain output with no extra characters. |
| -v | Verbose comments while outputting. |
| -g | Set memory buffer granularity to the closest power of two lower than bytes (default 1024.) |
| -l | Set match limit to matches (default 4096; 0 -> no limit.) |
| -m | Set minimum match length to symbols (default 3). |
| -?|h | Display this help screen and exit. |
Adding -- will turn off switch .
Also included is a simple KillSpam email client that takes the patterns generated (from FindPatterns) and eliminates all the emails that have matching patterns.
