seek

This is a tool to search patterns from files, filenames and directory names, written in Go.

Quick start

• Use build binaries from bin/ (seek.exe for windows, seek for linux).
• Build it yourself:
  • Dependency: need to have Go installed

  go build -o seek seek.go

  • [optional] install the binary to local user with

  go install .

To build binary (64-bit) from linux to windows, run

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o seek.exe seek.go

Usage

seek [FLAGS] PATTERNS

FLAGS

NB! When using up to one flag, then using = between flag and value can be omitted.

NB! Program does run when omitting = between flag and value for multiple flags, but it does not work as excpected. For specifics of why, visit Go flag package.

Note: single dash (-) can be used instead of double dash (--).

--depth=int

The depth of directory structure recursion, -1 is exhaustive recursion. (default -1)

--from=string

Specify a file or a directory from which we seek the pattern. (default ".")

--help

Prints help.

--ignore=string

REGEXP_PATTERN that we want to ignore. (default "\\.git")

--indent=int

The size of indentation between filepath and found pattern. (default 30)

--type=string

The search type: do we search the pattern from 'dir'=directory name; 'file'=filename; 'pat'=pattern inside a file. By default search from everywhere.

--todo

In addtion to REGEXP_PATTERN, search for TODO:|NOTE:|HACK:|DEBUG:|FIXME:|REVIEW:|BUG:|TEST:|TESTME:|MAYBE:

Notes

• in vim/ directory I have provided the vimscript function, key remapping and commands related to seek that I use in my .vimrc.
