Recursive Output Utility

Overview

This Python script recursively searches for files based on their extensions starting from a specified directory. It can print the directory structure, include or exclude specific files, use syntax highlighting for output, and anonymize file paths for privacy.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher,
• bat (optional, for syntax highlighting),

Installation

Using pip

python -m pip install routput

On some systems, you may need to put the version number of python:

python3.12 -m pip install routput

For the sake of simplicity, whenever I mention python in the following sections, you can replace it with python3.x version if necessary.

From source

Clone this repository.

git clone https://github.com/nacioboi/routput.git

Navigate to the repository directory.

cd routput

And install the package.

python -m pip install .

python -m routput [options]

Options

• -d, --starting-directory: Directory to start the search from (default: current directory).
• -s, --do-print-structure: Print the directory structure.
• -e, --extensions: List of file extensions to search for, format [ext1,ext2,...] (default: [c,h]).
• -p, --do-protect-privacy: Anonymize file paths.
• -a, --also-include: List of additional filenames to include, format [file1,file2,...].
• -i, --ignore: List of filenames to ignore, format [file1,file2,dir1,dir2...].
• -n, --no-print: Don't print the files, just return them.
• -b, --do-use-bat: Use bat for syntax highlighting.
• -c, --do-colors: Use different colors for each file type.
• -h, --help: Show help message and exit.

Examples

To print the structure of a directory:

python -m routput.py -d /path/to/directory -s

To find and print .py files in the current directory, using bat for highlighting:

python routput.py -e [py] -b
