Usage

ffinder --help

• [PATH]: (optional) Path to the directory to search in. If not provided, the current directory will be used.
• -k, --key: Required. Define a search key.
• -v, --value: Required. Define a search value.
• -r, --recursive: (optional) Perform a recursive search within subdirectories. Default is non-recursive.
• -s, --save: (optional) Save a report in the current directory.
• -c, --copy-to: (optional) Copy found files to the specified directory.

Example

ffinder -k ext -v .zip -r -s -c /zips

This command will search for all files named "example.txt" recursively starting from the current directory. It will save a report in the current directory and copy the found files to /path/to/copy.

Supported Search Keys

• name: Search files by name.
• extension: Search files by extension.
• date modified: Search files by last modified date.

Notes

• If no path is provided, the tool will search in the current directory.
• If multiple files with the same name are found during copy operation, the tool will append a timestamp to the copied file's name to avoid overwriting.
