folder_compare

A library to recursively compare files in two folders and return two lists of files: One with exclusive Files for the first folder one list with changed files between folders.

folder_compare also takes a list of Strings acting as exclude patterns using RegexSet.

Overall the functionality is comparable to a diff -rq folder1 folder2 -X excludepatterns.pat on unix like systems

For recognizing changed files, hashing with FxHasher is used.

Usage

Add folder_compare as a dependency to your project's Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] folder_compare = "0.1"

# Example

The following code recursively iterates over two directories and returns lists of changed and new files excluding those with ".doc" and ".txt" as part of the name/path.

``` use std::path::Path; use folder_compare;

let excluded = vec![".doc".tostring(), ".txt".tostring()]; let (changedfiles, newfiles) = folder_compare::compare(Path::new("/tmp/a"), Path::new("/tmp/b"), &excluded).unwrap(); ```
