--write (-w)
By using this flag the results will be saved into a CSV file
This file contains one line per file, it does not contain details of the PANs that are found. The fields are "File number,PANs,Confidence 0,Confidence 1,Confidence 2,Confidence 3,File"
For example, a line in the file containing these values:
12,5,0,2,1,2,/path/to/file.txt
Will be interpreted as:
- file number 12
- total possible PANs found: 5
- 0 findings with confidence 0
- 2 findings with confidence 1
- 1 finding with confidence 2
- 2 findings with confidence 3
- file path /path/to/file.txt
To get the values of the PANs that have been found, we must use other flags like --print, --print-extended (both with output on the console), or --export depending on what is needed.
The generated CSV file will have its name according to this pattern:
reveal_<hostname>_YYYYMMDD-hhmm.csv
Where <hostname> is the name of the computer where the command has been executed, and the rest is the execution date and time.
