# any - for bash
```
any -flags.. file-keyword
=> -flags.. filename-matching-keyword
```
In case `file-keyword` allows for more than one matching, a selection menu is prompted.
When the file/folder name includes a known keyword but bash autocompletion cannot help, any saves the pain. Any extensively uses the `find` command.

## Example
### cd keyword expansion
```bash
$ ls
workplace workfloor workaround
$ any cd around
expanded to: cd workaround
$ workaround/ _
```
### generic command expansion
```bash
$ any cat around
$ any emacs -nw around
```
### not unique expansion
In case the expansion is not unique, any prompts a selection menu in reverse cronological order.
### complex folder pattern expansion (separated by `/`)
```bash
$ any cat around/demo => cat workaround/my-demo
```
## Installation
### Via script (for systems with `.bashrc`)
+ `git clone [email protected]:acorbe/any.git`
+ `cd any`
+ `./install.sh`
### Explicit
+ `git clone [email protected]:acorbe/any.git`
+ Add `source /any/any-bash.sh` into your `~/.bashrc` (for standard linux) or `~/.bash_profile` (for macos).
+ (optional) `export ANY_ALIAS_CD=true`
## Aliases
+ `any cd` is aliased to `ad` by setting `ANY_ALIAS_CD=true` in your `.bashrc`
## Supported systems
+ Extensively tested with bash on linux
+ Works on macos. Less features are supported, because of limited `find` functionalities.
