how to grep external txt file in bash script?

Question

I would like to run a script that can be access in other terminals other then my own. like bash <(curl -s http://domain.com/scripts/hello.sh) but I need this script to grep a txt file that is also located on that server for example domain.com/scripts/stuff.txt. What would be the best method?

Answer 1

Try:

curl -s http://domain.com/scripts/stuff.txt | grep "$Hi"

You can redirect the output to a local text file, like so:

curl -s http://domain.com/scripts/stuff.txt | grep "$Hi" > stuff_that_starts_with_hi.txt

Answer 2

Download a text file, and pipe it into grep:

curl http://domain.com/scripts/stuff.txt | grep foo

Answer 3

You can also use wget

wget -qO - http://domain.com/scripts/stuff.txt | grep dat
