findme
Lightweight python based shell utility for finding files on disk using regex.
Why?
The bash find
command has a --regex
option, which works great for one-off searches.
However, I didn't have a good way to remember the dozen or so patterns I was searching for daily, and then quickly compose them into a find --regex
call.
This tool is meant to streamline the process of remembering regex patterns, so you can search for them faster.
Installation
Use pip to install the find-patterns
python package: pip install find-patterns
This will install a shell script findme
as well as the python package find_patterns
.
Usage
Add a pattern to locate all python files on disk.
findme --add py --pattern "\.py$"
Add a pattern to locate all c++ template files
findme --add templates --pattern "\.(inl|\[ht]cc|\[ht]pp)$"
Add a pattern to locate all files named "activate". --files-only
is needed, since the file has no extension to match against.
findme --add activate --pattern "activate$" --files-only
Search for all c++ template files inside the given directory.
findme templates ./project_dir/include
Search for maya files and perform other operations with the filepaths.
findme maya | wc -l | ...
Remove the alias we previously created for python files.
findme --remove py
List all aliases that are assigned.
findme --list
