Parsing URLs for mail filters

parcels

A tool and library to parse URLs. If you say that fast enough, it sounds like parcels.

This is mainly intended for use in mail filters.

Usage

cat EMAIL | parcels

This will...

1. re-prints EMAIL with URLs replaced by indices
2. print a postscript of indexed URLs

cat EMAIL | parcels -n 0

This will...

1. try to find the first URL in EMAIL and re-print just that URL
2. otherwise print nothing

License

The URL regular expression is adapted from that used in urlscan, which is licensed under GPL v2. Credit for this portion of the code should go to:

• Scott Hansen <[e-mail]> (Author and Maintainer)
• Maxime Chatelle <[e-mail]> (Debian Maintainer)
• Daniel Burrows <[e-mail]> (Original Author)

I personally consider this project to be derivative, therefore I am keeping the GPL v2 license of the urlscan project.
