Investigate wtf you were working on... where is that damn file?
pip install catscan==0.0.7
Forgot where you put that file? Forgot what you were working on?
Wish you could grep against a file you forgot about?
From the project root directory:
$ pip install catscan
or:
$ python setup.py install
Simply run it with something that might be in the file, and it will check through files you worked with in your bash history:
# Find files you worked on that have the search string 'install' in them. $ catscan 'install' /home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/catscan/install.py /home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/setup.py /home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/README.rst /home/johannestaas/dev/catscan/catscan/install.py /home/johannestaas/dev/mkpip/setup.py
Use --help/-h to view info on the arguments:
$ catscan --help
More complex scan behavior is also available:
# search using regex (python format) $ catscan -r '201[56]-\d+-\d+' # limit to files less than 1 megabyte $ catscan -m 1 'foo' # limit to files less than ~100 kilobytes $ catscan -m 0.1 'foo' # case insensitive search $ catscan -i 'foo' # Look for files that are not necessarily ASCII (using file magic) $ catscan -a 'CAFEBABE' # Quit after finding the first matching file $ catscan -q 1 'foo'
