# 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)
