CLI tool for searching file in your PC
Project description
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 sefile --help, then you get the output like this:
How to show CLI version?
sefile --version
or
sefile -v
How to find a file?
sefile find example.txt
or
[!NOTE] You can specify the initial directory path to find the file you want.
sefile find example.txt /home/yourname/Documents
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.
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.
How to create a file?
sefile create example.txt
[!NOTE] Default directory set as /home/username
or
sefile create example.txt /home/username/Documents
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 --auto. This useful for you if you too lazy for creating simple project. Remember this Options, will create Python, Javascript, or Go depends on your choice. You can detected it from your home directory.
To run --auto Options, you just simply write it in your terminal like this below:
sefile create --auto
How to read a file?
sefile read example.py /home
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 example.py /home --read-type=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 example.py /home --read-type=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
How to delete a file?
sefile delete example.py /home
You can add the path as you wish, but make sure that the files you delete are in your destination directory.
How to write a file?
sefile write
And you get this layer of nice UI
[!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.
Keep in mind
This program is only useful for find, create, read, write and delete. 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.
