file-matcher

A Rust library to search files and folders based on the name pattern (regex, wildcard, exact).

Features

• regex - adds regex support using Regex crate
• wildmatch - adds a wildcard matching using Wildmatch crate
• copier - allows users to copy declared files and folders, uses fs_extra crate
• mover - allows users to move declared files and folders, uses fs_extra crate

Search

Use FileNamed to search for exactly one file matching the name pattern. Returns an Error if none or more than one file was found. rust FileNamed::regex("cat.*") .within("tests/assets") .find()?

Use FolderNamed to search for exactly one folder matching the name pattern. Returns an Error if none or more than one folder was found. rust FileNamed::wildmatch("cat*") .within("tests/assets") .find()?

Existence

Check if a file exists: rust FileNamed::wildmatch("cat*") .within("tests/assets") .exists()?

Check if a folder exists: rust FolderNamed::wildmatch("cat*") .within("tests/assets") .exists()?

Copy

Find and copy a file matching a name pattern to destination folder under the same name: rust FileNamed::wildmatch("cat*") .within("tests/assets") .copy("destination")?

Find and copy a file matching a name pattern to destination folder as kitty.txt: rust FileNamed::wildmatch("cat*") .within("tests/assets") .copy(Path::new("destination").join("kitty.txt"))?

Alternatively, assign an alias for copy/move operations. The following will find a file matching a given pattern name and will copy it into the destination folder under the kitty.txt name: rust FileNamed::wildmatch("cat*") .alias("kitty.txt") .within("tests/assets") .copy("destination")?
