 Project Readme

GNU find is too slow. Let's make it slower by rewriting it in Ruby.

Files in Fynd are lazy-loaded, much like ActiveRecord. Fynd expressions aren't called until you call #files. Fynd is heavily inspired by the, uh... find command, I guess.

Is it any good?

No.

Installation

gem install fynd

Usage

require 'fynd'
include Fynd

# `find /var/log -iname '*system*' -type f`

find("/var/log").iname("system").type(:file).files

=> ["/var/log/system.log", "/var/log/system.log.0.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.1.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.2.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.3.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.4.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.5.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.6.bz2", "/var/log/system.log.7.bz2"]

You can even pass the files to a block.

require 'fynd'
include Fynd

# `find /var/log -iname '*system` -type f -print

find("/var/log").iname("system").type(:file).files do |file|
  puts file
end

# Prints out:
#   /var/log/system.log
#   /var/log/system.log.0.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.1.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.2.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.3.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.4.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.5.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.6.bz2
#   /var/log/system.log.7.bz2
