FileRe

FileRe is a command-line utility designed for efficient file searching and manipulation. It allows users to locate files based on various criteria, including name, type, size, and modification date. A key feature of FileRe is its ability to perform regular expression matching on filenames, providing a powerful way to define complex search patterns.

Beyond simple searching, FileRe offers functionalities for renaming and deleting files that match the specified criteria. This can be done interactively, prompting the user for confirmation before each action, or non-interactively for automated tasks. The tool is known for its speed and flexibility, making it a popular choice for system administrators and developers who need to manage large numbers of files.

The typical usage of FileRe involves specifying a search pattern and a target directory. Options can be added to refine the search, such as limiting the depth of directory traversal or excluding specific subdirectories. FileRe aims to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly interface for common file management operations, streamlining workflows that might otherwise require more complex scripting. Its open-source nature also allows for community contributions and further development.
