findme is a command-line tool written in Rust as a simple alternative to the Linux find command, designed for searching files with fuzzy name matching and filtering by extensions.
- Fuzzy matching: Search for files with names that approximate the given search string.
- Extension filtering: Narrow down search results to files with specific extensions.
- Depth control: Specify the maximum depth to search within directories.
- Predefined paths: Use convenient shortcuts for common directories.
-
-n, --name <FILE_NAME>
Name of the file to search for (supports fuzzy matching). -
-p, --path <SEARCH_PATH>
Directory path to start the search. Use predefined paths like_desktop,_documents, etc., or provide a custom path. Required. -
-e, --ext
Optional file extensions to filter by (comma-separated). -
-d, --depth <MAX_DEPTH>
Maximum depth to search within the directory (optional, default is 2).
Search for files with names containing "example" in the desktop directory (_desktop) and filter to include only .txt and .rs files:
findme --name example --path _desktop --ext txt,rs -d 4
