pyf: Programmers find
=====================

It's pronounced "pif".

.. code:: shell

    pyf [options] [search-pattern [filename-pattern [start-directory]]]

Recursively search for files whose contents matches search-pattern.

-  Optionally restrict the search to files whose name matches
   filename-pattern.
-  Optionally chdir to start-directory before starting the search.
-  Patterns are Python regular expressions.

Written because I got tired of writing:

.. code:: shell

    find . -name '*.py' -exec egrep -l regex {} \;

The above with pyf would be:

.. code:: shell

    pyf regex '\.py$'

or

.. code:: shell

    pyf regex 'py$'

or just

.. code:: shell

    pyf regex py

If you don't pass in a regex as the file name pattern, pyf assumes it is
a file extension match and adds a $ on the end.

File name patterns and the search patterns inside of files are both
`Python regular
expressions <https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html>`__.

Examples
--------

Find Files Containing A Regex
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: shell

    pyf regex

The above example will recursively find files and search for 'regex' in
the file.

Restrict The Search To Certain File Extensions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: shell

    pyf regex py

The above example will recursively find files whose name ends in 'py'
and search for 'regex' in the file.

Finding Files Which Contain One Thing But Not Another
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: shell

    pyf post html | pyf -v -f - csrf_token

Above finds all files whose name ends in 'html' and contain 'post' but
do not contain 'csrf\_token'.

Running A Command On A Matched File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: shell

    pyf -r "sed -i '' -e 's/yajogo\.core\.debug/yajogo.core.logging/g'" 'yajogo\.core\.debug' py

Above finds files with extention 'py' that contain the string
'yajogo.core.debug' and runs a sed command on them.

Printing Regex Matches
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: shell

    pyf -s -m '\d+x\d+' html

Above will print all matches of the pattern '+x+' in files whose names
ends in 'html'. The -s option suppresses printing of the filename for
the match. The -m option causes the matched regex to be printed. So,
with the above you might get an output like this:

::

    57x57
    72x72
    114x114
    512x512
    200x200
    150x150
    150x150
    150x150
    500x500
    800x600
    150x150
    150x150

We could pipe the output of this command to another program. For
example:

.. code:: shell

    pyf -s -m html '(\d+x\d+)' | sort | uniq

Would give us a sorted and unique list of matches:

::

    114x114
    150x150
    200x200
    500x500
    512x512
    57x57
    72x72
    800x600

Installation
------------

.. code:: shell

    pip install pyf-programmers-find

Usage
-----

.. code:: shell

    $ pyf -h
    usage: pyf [options] [search-pattern [filename-pattern [start-directory]]]

    pyf: programmers find

    Recursively search for files whose contents matches search-pattern.
    Optionally restrict the search to files whose name matches filename-pattern.
    Patterns are Python regular expressions.

    It's pronounced "pif".

    positional arguments:
      search-pattern        Match this pattern in files.
      filename-pattern      Only search files whose name matches this pattern.
      start-directory       Change to this directory before findind and searching
                            files.

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      --version             show program's version number and exit
      --debug               Turn on debug logging.
      --debug-log FILE      Save debug logging to FILE.
      -c COUNT, --context COUNT
                            Show COUNT surrounding context lines of the matches.
                            Only makes sense when printing matched lines with the
                            -p option. Default 0.
      -d START_DIRECTORY, --chdir START_DIRECTORY
                            Change to directory START_DIRECTORY before starting
                            the search. Can also be given as the third positional
                            argument.
      -e SEARCH_PATTERN, --regexp SEARCH_PATTERN
                            Use SEARCH_PATTERN as the pattern to match in a file;
                            use when defining patterns beginning with -. Can also
                            be given as the first positional argument.
      -f FILE, --file FILE  File to search for a match. Instead of recursively
                            searching all files. Can be given multiple times. If
                            argument is - reads a list of files to match from
                            stdin.
      -i, --ignore-case     Ignore case. Default False.
      -l, --line-number     Print the matching line number. Default False.
      -m, --matches         Print the matching regex group. Default False.
      -n FILENAME_PATTERN, --filename FILENAME_PATTERN
                            Recursively find files whose name matches
                            FILENAME_PATTERN. Only search in those files. Can also
                            be given as the second positional argument. Default:
                            .+
      -p, --print-lines     Print the matching line. Default False.
      -r CMD, --run CMD     Run a program CMD for each matching file, passing the
                            path name of the matching file as an argument. Ignored
                            if the -p or -l options are given.
      -s, --no-filename     Do not print the file name when printing matched
                            lines. Only makes sense with the -p option. Default
                            False.
      -v, --invert-match    Invert the sense of the match. Print non-matching
                            files and lines. Default False.
      -A, --suppress-file-access-errors
                            Do not print file/directory access errors.
      -B, --no-binary-check
                            Ignore (heuristic) binary file check, do not skip
                            probably binary files.
      -N, --no-pager        Do not pipe output to a pager when stdout it detected
                            as a tty.
      --force-pager         Always try to pipe output to a pager, do not check if
                            stdout is a tty. Ignored when running with the -r
                            option.
      --skip-dirs-pattern SKIP_DIRS_PATTERN
                            Regex of directories to skip. Default
