# File Search Scripts
This repository contains a Bash script and a Tcl script that together allow you to search for files in the current directory based on a specified pattern. The results are logged to a specified log file.
## Installation
To use the file search scripts, you need to clone this repository to your local machine.
1.Use the following command to clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Septiscom/rnscript.git
```
2.Make the scripts executable:
```bash
chmod +x rnscript.sh srchscript.tcl
```
3.Ensure Tcl is installed on your system. Check using:
```bash
tclsh --version
```
## Scripts Overview
### 1. rnscript.sh
A Bash script that:
- Accepts a directory, file pattern, and optional mode arguments.
- Logs all actions to a log file with a timestamp.
- Invokes the `srchscript.tcl` script to search for files matching the provided pattern in the specified directory.
Usage:
```bash
./rnscript.sh [directory] [pattern] [-silent|-verbose]
Options:
directory: Directory to search files in (default: current directory).
pattern: File name pattern to search (supports wildcards).
-silent | -s: Suppress all output.
-verbose | -v: Enable detailed output.
-help | -h: Display help.
Example Usage:
1.Search for all .txt files in the current directory:
./rnscript.sh . "*.txt"
2.Search for all .log files in /var/log with verbose output:
./rnscript.sh /var/log "*.log" -v
```
### 2. srchscript.tcl
A Tcl script that:
- Searches the specified directory for files that match the provided pattern.
- Handles optional modes: silent (no output) and verbose (additional logging).
- Prints the matching file names to the console.
Usage:
```bash
tclsh srchscript.tcl
Example Usage:
1.Search for .conf files in /etc without suppressing output:
tclsh srchscript.tcl /etc "*.conf" 0 0
2.Search with verbose logging enabled:
tclsh srchscript.tcl /etc "*.conf" 0 1
```
## Prerequisites
- **Bash**: The `rnscript.sh` Bash script should run on any Unix-like system that supports Bash.
- **Tcl**: The `srchscript.tcl` Tcl script requires Tcl to be installed. You can check if Tcl is installed with the command:
```bash
tclsh --version
```
- Use `chmod +x rnscript.sh srchscript.tcl` to make the shell script executable.
