cleaning up CSS file

rblampain · 11-12-2005, 09:35 AM

I have been building a site that has now some hundreds of HTML pages using a CSS external file. This CSS file is very messy and some of the tags have been removed from the HTML pages but I don't know exactly which one.

My question: is there an easy to use piece of software to fix this problem?

The need is to get a list of the CSS tags used in the HTML pages so that I can remove those that aren't in the list.

My knowledge is not good enough to try that with BASH and I thought about writing a little program in BASIC to do the job if there is nothing else already.

Your help or comments are most appreciated.

You could use :

Code:

cd /your/site/dir
grep -r ' class="' . | \
sed -r -e 's/.*class="(\w+)".*/\1/' | \
sort -u > result.txt

That will create and fill result.txt with the sorted list of CSS style used in
the class="style" parameter
