Recursively search for files and directories with a pattern while ignoring irrelevant directories.
I made finr to suit my own needs, and because I was tired of getting excessive results from find.
Nope. I consider find to be a great tool with more features than finr.
Since finr is relatively new it doesn't support as many features as find or fd-find (so keep that in mind).
Assumes that you have rust and cargo installed.
sh
cargo install finr
sh
git clone https://github.com/Gers2017/finr && \
cd finr && \
cargo build --release
Print help message
sh
finr --help
By default finr searches for files and starts at the current directory.
If you want to search for a directory use -t d (--type directory).
The max-depth is arbitrarily set to 100.
Search for .rs files using regex (Uses the regex crate)
sh
finr '.+\.rs$' --regex
Search for files with .rs. Starting at the current directory. (Uses ends_with)
sh
finr .rs -e
Search for directories that contain _node_modules_ in the name.
sh
finr node_modules -t d
Searching for files that contain main in the name (Uses contains)
sh
finr main
Search for files with .rs starting at the /home/ directory while ignoring some directories.
sh
finr .rs ~/ -e -i Files Videos Downloads .config .local
Search for files that contain main.c starting at the current directory. Ignoring Music Videos Downloads and Including .config .local .ignore.
sh
finr main.c --ignore Music Videos Downloads --include .config .local .ignore
