# File Name Finder

Concurrent, recursive, file name finder.

Can search for multiple keywords in file names.

Output is pipe friendly, so you can grep or xargs all day.

### Install

```

go install github.com/selfup/filenamefinder@latest

```

### Use

```

$ filenamefinder -h

Usage of filenamefinder:

  -k string

        keyword(s) for the filename - can be comma delimited

  -p string

        absolute path - can be comma delimited

```

Example looking for all README files in $HOME and doing a count of matches (linux):

```

$ time filenamefinder -p="$HOME" -k='README' | wc -l

4815

real    0m1.389s

user    0m4.960s

sys     0m2.708s

```

---

Performance is quite similar to `find` but this is such little code I figured why not.

You can also use this in your go projects and not have to exec a shell command.

That's nice too.

### Use as a lib

```go

import (

    "fmt"

    "strings"

    filenamefinder "github.com/selfup/filenamefinder/pkg"

)

scankeywords := strings.Split("first_keyword,second_keyword", ",")

scanPaths := strings.Split("/tmp,/etc,/home", ",")

nfnf := filenamefinder.NewFileNameFinder(scanKeywords)

for _, path := range scanPaths {

    nfnf.Scan(path)

}

for _, file := range nfnf.Files {

    fmt.Println(file)

}

```

### Caveats

Currently fuzzy find which I prefer.

The rest can be narrowed down with grep or any other pipe freindly util.
