This script will take a search term from the user and scan possible directories for folders and open them. Any folder name that includes the search term will be opened, up to a maximum of 5 as overload protection. If the user desires to open more folders at once to have a more thorough search, the search term can be preceded by an asterisk.
Useful if you regularly have to access large directories many levels deep within a storage system. the script can be used to pre-define the directories of interest, and then repeatedly take a search term to open any applicable folders therein.
Just clone or download the repo.
To modify the script for your own purposes, you must make the below changes:
- Revise dir_path on line 23 to whatever directory path you want to be the default.
- Add all paths you wish to be able to access from within the program to dirpaths on line 27.
- Change list of directories on lines 64-69 accordingly to set your user-input for which directories to search and open from.
- Clean up initial print statement on lines 38-53 to reflect your use-case.
