# PyFindFiles

![ci](https://github.com/scivision/pyfindfiles/workflows/ci/badge.svg)

[![PyPi Download stats](http://pepy.tech/badge/pyfindfiles)](http://pepy.tech/project/pyfindfiles)

Find files (text or binary) containing text or patterns efficiently with Python, cross-platform.

Default is to only search files smaller than 10 MBytes.

Uses pipelining and asyncio to speed up operations.

## Install

Normally install by

```sh

pip install pyfindfiles

```

for latest development code

```sh

git clone https://github.com/scivision/pyfindfiles

pip install -e pyfindfiles

```

## Usage

`findtext` looks for strings inside text or binary files, and reports filename text is found in.

* `-v`: filename, line number, and text found

* `-t`: search for files newer than date, or between dates if two dates given.

```sh

python -m pyfindfiles.text Pattern "*.ext" root

```

Pattern

: text to search for

"*.ext"

: file extension(s) to search for

root

: top-level directory to search under

---

```sh

python -m pyfindfiles.video top

```

looks under top-level directory "top" for video files (by common file extensions)
