Page Comparison

This article explains how to get URLs from the Confluence pages based on the regex pattern using the Confluence Command Line Interface app.

...

• Execute the below command to get all links from pages in all spaces of a Confluence instance:
  
  

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  --action runFromPageList --space "@all" --clearFileBeforeAppend --common "--action getSource --id @pageId@ --special: "" #"" --append --file spaceLinkList.txt" --input "--findReplaceRegex ""(?s).*?href=.(http[s]{0,1}://[./a-z]+)#$1,"" --findReplaceRegex ""(?s)(((http[s]{0,1}://[./a-z]+),)*).*#$1"" --findReplaceRegex "",#' \n '"" "

  
  

• Execute the below command to get all the links from a single page of a space:
  

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  --action getSource --space "ZCLI" --title "PAGE2" --special " #" --findReplaceRegex "(?s).*?href=\"(http[s]{0,1}://[./a-z]+)#\$1 \n"

  
  
  Output from the above commands:
  Image Removed
  Image Added
  

The parameters used in the actions are:

• --space: Name of the space. In this case, @all represents all spaces in an instance.
• --clearFileBeforeAppend: This option will automatically clear an existing file on the first append requested.
• --id: ids of pages. In this case, it searches for all the pages in the spaces using @pageId@
• --file: Path/name to file of result output.
• --findReplaceRegex: The regex pattern used to match the patterns of the links.
• --special: Characters used for specialized processing of some specific parameters.
• --append: The append will append output to the existing file.
