new-sefile 0.0.16

CLI tool for searching file in your PC

Sefile CLI

Sefile CLI is a personal project created by Faisal Ramadhan or myself. This project was built using the Python programming language. At the time of its creation, this CLI was only useful for finding the desired file according to the initial directory, but over time I started adding several new commands, such as Create, Read, Write and Delete. All of these commands have their own purpose and function.

Installation

You can install this cli from https://pypi.org/project/new-sefile/ or you can just type in command into your terminal like below:

python3 -m pip install new-sefile

Enjoy your exploration on my CLI tool!

Warning This project does not support yet for Windows and Mac operating system.

Requirements

Each project must have additional modules or packages for ease of project creation. I myself use a lot of packages to make this CLI. The modules or packages list that I use is:

How to use it

It's quite easy, you just need to enter the command python -m sefile --help, then you get the output like this:

How to show CLI version and information?

sefile --version

or

sefile -v

How to find a file?

sefile find <filename>

or

[!NOTE] You can specify the initial directory path to find the file you want.

sefile find <filename> <path>

At first I created this based only on the filename, but eventually I added new flag options, namely --startswith and --endswith.

• --startswith flag is useful for searching files with your own custom prefix. Usage examples:

[!NOTE] --startswith flag has been set as is_eager=True, meaning this parameter will be executed and the main parameter will be overridden. Also, you need to input from what (path) you want to search file startswith (prefix).

sefile find --startswith main

When you do this, the system will automatically look for files with a certain (in this case main) prefix from each directory or sub-directory that matches the initial directory.

• --endswith flag is useful for searching files with your own custome prefix. Usage examples:

[!NOTE] --endswith flag has been set as is_eager=True, meaning this parameter will be executed and the main parameter will be overridden.

sefile find --endswith .py

This flag has same functional as --startswith flag, but search file by the end name of the file that match with your custome prefix. Also, you need to input from what (path) you want to search file endswith (prefix).

[!NOTE] --lazy flag has been as is_eager=True, meaning this parameter will be executed and the main parameter will be overridden.

sefile find --lazy

This flag can be use if you to lazy to input CLI command. You only need to enter a special custom query, namely find from . This custom query has same functionality as sefile find command.

There are several input command you can do:

• find (filename) from (path)

for Linux OS: find main.py from /home/(user)/Documents

for Windows OS: find main.py from C:\Directory\SubDirectory

• find from (path) startswith (prefix)

for Linux OS: find file from /home/(user)/Documents startswith main

for Windows OS: find file from C:\Directory\SubDirectory startswith main

• find from (path) like (prefix)

for Linux OS: find file from /home/(user)/Documents like test

for Windows OS: find file from C:\Directory\SubDirectory like test

NOTE: You can also do 'quit' or 'exit' custom query in input field. This situation will needed if you want to cancel the find activity. So it makes more flexible for you to use find command

How to create a file?

sefile create <filename>

[!NOTE] Default directory set as /home/username

or

sefile create <filename> <path>

The system will automatically create a file with a certain file type (according to the type you add at the end of the file) in the directory you enter.

[!NOTE] In newest update, there's one Options called --project. This useful for you if you too lazy for creating simple project. Remember this Options, will create Python, Javascript, or Go project, depends on your choice.

To run --project Options, you just simply write it in your terminal like this below:

sefile create --project

NOTE: You can do 'quit' or 'exit' command in input field. This command so useful if you are in the situation where you don't wanna input anything, or you do wrong input name in project name, or project directory, or when you choose the wrong project what you want to make.

In the newest update, i add another functionality for this create command. It's --write options. To using it, just simply type:

sefile create --write

It's automatically displaying Code Editor Interface in your terminal.

[!NOTE] you need specifiy the Filename and Path first, before you do code or creating text.

So this write command, doesn't need ARGS at all, you just input command in your terminal above, and you can do code in your terminal.

INFORMATION:

So if you notice, theres is 'EXIT' button and 'SAVE' button right? the functionality of these 2(two) button are same as 'EXIT' button and 'SAVE' button in your code editor.

You can exit whatever you want, but you can't save the code if you not input value in 'Filename' and 'Folder Path'. So be careful when you use this.

How to read a file?

sefile read <filename> <path>

or

• --read-type flag is especially useful for reading files of a certain type. Default file typer set as text or .txt. Example of the output:

Example 1:

Do this command in your terminal:

sefile read <filename> <path> --format python 

And you get a result like this in your terminal (NOTE: This is just example)

# example.py

def my_func() -> None:
    print("Hello World!")

Example 2:

Do this command in terminal:

sefile read <filename> <path> --format go

And you get a result like this in your terminal (NOTE: This is just example)

// main.go

func playingPythagoras(altitude, base, hypotenus float64) {
	if altitude == 0.0 {
		formula := math.Pow(hypotenus, 2.0) - math.Pow(base, 2.0)
		fmt.Printf("altitude = %.1f² - %.1f²", hypotenus, base)
		fmt.Printf("Result = %.1f", math.Round(formula))
	} else if base == 0.0 {
		formula := math.Pow(hypotenus, 2.0) - math.Pow(altitude, 2.0)
		fmt.Printf("base = %.1f² - %.1f²", hypotenus, altitude)
		fmt.Printf("Result = %.1f", math.Round(formula))
	} else {
		formula := math.Pow(altitude, 2.0) + math.Pow(base, 2.0)
		fmt.Printf("hypotenus = %.1f² + %.1f²", altitude, base)
		fmt.Printf("\nResult = %.1f", math.Round(formula))
	}
}

[!NOTE] this is just an example, the output will vary depending on the type of file you entered and the program in the file you entered

If you want to add indent for read code, you just simply add --indent or -i, you can just type like:

sefile read <filename> <path> --format python --indent

If you want to change theme also want to add indent, you can just type like:

sefile read <filename> <path> --format python --indent --theme monokai

For list of all theme, you can type --help options, like this:

sefile read --help

How to rmeove a file?

sefile remove <path> <filename>

So you must input the path directory first then file that inside the directory.

In other hand, this command also has many options. The first one is --startswith or you just simpy type -s. To implement this command, you can type like:

sefile remove <path> --startswith <prefix>

[!NOTE] For --startswith and --endswith options, it must required a prefix that related into this two options. For example, if you want to search file startswith something (depends on what value you inputed), you must use --startswith, but if you want to search file format endswith, let's say .py, then you must use --endswith options.

The second options is --endswith or you just simply type -e. To implement this command, you can type like:

sefile remove <path> --endswith <prefix>

The last one is --subfolder or you just simply type -sf. This options has functionality to remove sub folder and it's content from path directory target. To implement this command, you can type like:

sefile remove <path> --subfolder

Keep in mind

This program is only useful for find, create, read, write and remove. Apart from that, I have nothing to add. I personally will only focus on the main command program, because there are still many things that can be updated in the future.
