file-opener

Searches specific directories for a file with a matching filename and opens it with the default application for the selected file type

How to use it

To use this you need to have the xdg-open command installed.
The easiest method would be to set up an alias inside your .bashrc file like so
alias opener='crystal run --release "DIRECTORY/WITH/YOUR/FILE/find.cr" --'
and then search by writing opener \find.cr or opener -l \find.cr the slash is necessary because otherwise linux might not pass this argument as a raw string.
The optional -l argument specifies if the script should search in the current working directory (this would be with -l) or in the directories hardcoded inside find.cr.

Other Details

• The directories need to be seperated with / while the escaping char needs to be \.
• The directories inside find.cr are in a hierarchical order so the script will not search other directories if it finds a matching file inside the first one.
• If multiple matching files are found inside one directory it will print all of them.
• If you notice a bug after searching with an argument such as opener \src/main.rs change it to opener \*src/main.rs and it should work. This is caused by the weird implementation of glob inside crystal std.
