Investigate wtf you were working on... where is that damn file?
Project description
catscan, or mindgrep
=======
Forgot where you put that file? Forgot what you were working on?
Wish you could grep against a file you forgot about?
Installation
------------
From the project root directory::
$ pip install catscan
or::
$ python setup.py install
To enable --start/--end filters to restrict to filtering specific time periods::
$ catscan-install
Usage
-----
Simply run it with something that might be in the file, and it will check through files you worked with in your bash history::
# Find files you worked on that have the search string 'install' in them.
$ catscan 'install'

/home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/README.rst
/home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/catscan/install.py
/home/johannestaas/dev/mkpip/setup.py
Use --help/-h to view info on the arguments::
$ catscan --help
More complex scan behavior is available::
# search for something you worked on between 36 hours ago and 12 hours ago
$ catscan 'args' -s 36 -e 12
/home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/catscan/scan.py
# search using regex (python format)
$ catscan -r '201[56]-\d+-\d+'
# limit to files less than 1 megabyte
$ catscan -m 1 'foo'
# limit to files less than ~100 kilobytes
$ catscan -m 0.1 'foo'
# case insensitive search
$ catscan -i 'foo'
# Look for files that are not necessarily ASCII (using file magic)
$ catscan -a 'CAFEBABE'
# Quit after finding the first matching file
$ catscan -q 1 'foo'
