Thanks Daniel... I'm confused though.

Perhaps http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/copyright.py will do the trick,
I can't see how to use it for matching a specific string.
Nor do I - sorry. What I had in mind was to apply it to a page that contains your search string, and to restrict the search for "copyright violations" to your site. But this may indeed be a dead end.
or simply http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/replace.py in -debug mode?
Where can I find information on -debug mode? I see there is -verbose mode which "may be helpful when debugging", but I don't see how that helps.
I thought that most PWB scripts had it, but apparently replace.py does not.
but if the def __init__(self, reader, force, append, summary, minor, autosummary, debug): line contains "debug" (as in the example above, taken from http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/pywikipedia/trunk/pywikipedia/pagefromfile.p... ), then -debug is an option with which the script can be run such that it performs all its actions except editing the pages.
I am not very experienced with Python or PWB either, but since nobody had replied so far, I wrote out my ideas as they came to mind. Sorry for the confusion,
Daniel
I may be missing something obvious &-)
Me too.

I want to generate a list of matches for a search, but not do anything to the page.
E.g. I want to list all pages that contain "redirect[[:Category", but I don't want to modify the pages.
I guess that it's possible to modify redirect.py (I don't speak python, but it shouldn't be hard) and run it with -log. But maybe there's a simpler way?
Thanks in advance.
