nf v0.0.3

nf

If you've used perl oneliners before you're expecting when you pass -pe to node that you'll evaluate the script once per input line

$ echo -e "foo\nbar" | perl -pe '"baz"'
foo
bar

However if you try it:

$ echo -e "foo\nbar" | node -pe '"baz"'
baz

nf is a small package that lets you perform arbitrary javascript/node actions once per input line:

$ npm install -g nf
$ echo -e "foo\nbar" | nf -pe '"baz"'
baz
baz

Valid command line arguments:

• -e -- evaluate the given script (if not passed assumes last argument is a javascript file to load)
• -n -- evaluate the given script once per input line, the current line is available in the global __line
• -p -- evaluate the given script once per input line with an implicit print of the return value (implies -n)

Here's a small example interpreting the current line

$ echo -e "foo\nbaz\nfoobar" | nf -pe '__line.replace(/foo/, "bar")'
bar
baz
barbar

Here is apache.js which transforms an apache log line to json:

var pattern = /^(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+\[(.+)\]\s+(.+)\s+(.+)\s+(HTTP\/\d+.\d+)\s+"(\d+)"\s+(\S+)\s+"(.*)"\s+"(.*)"\s+"(.*)"$/;

(function(line) {
  var m = line.match(pattern);

  if (!m) return JSON.stringify({});

  var obj = {
    host: m[1],
    a: m[2],
    user: m[3],
    date: m[4],
    method: m[5],
    url: m[6],
    version: m[7],
    statusCode: m[8],
    contentLength: m[9],
    refer: m[10],
    userAgent: m[11],
  };

  return JSON.stringify(obj);
})(__line);

then using jsontool you can find the uniq userAgents

tail -100 access.log | nf -p ./apache.js | json -ga userAgent | sort -r | uniq
