Author here: Often I have to digest log files and lists of Azure resource names. I prefer to work with hierarchies of things, so I wrote this simple filter. Turns out to quite handy, especially when combined with awk and its friends.
Sorry macos people, I don't own an Apple. (Not strictly true, I have an iMac rescued from a dumpster, but it's running Ubuntu now). Apparently greadlink is available https://stackoverflow.com/a/4031502 for you.
I love this as a post-processor for log-files. We actually have something like this at work. Unfortunately, it's applied to log-files by default. It's terrible: it breaks grep, and I haven't been able to figure a way around that.
Have you found any solutions for grepping on matching lines? Presumably, one could use awk, but awk takes a lot of cycles.
