This cross-platform CLI tool crawls into file system directories looking for specific files. When the tool finds the files it’s looking for (filtered files), it can list, archive, or delete them. This is also a useful tool that helps you back up and clean up file systems.
This version accepts next command-line parameters:
-root root/directory/path
The root of the directory tree to start the search. The default is the current directory.-list
List files found by the tool. When specified, no other actions will be executed.-ext ".ext1 .ext2..."
File extensions (one or more) to search. When specified, the tool will only match files with thees extensions.-size int
Minimum file size in bytes. When specified, the tool will only match files whose size is larger than this value.-del
Deletes specified file or all filtered ones.-log file/path
If specified, provides feedback about deleted files in log file. Otherwise, prints to STDOUT.-archive file/path
Archives compressed files before deleting.-since time_in_RFC822Z_format
File last modification time to search. When specified, the tool will only match files which last time modified after this value.
To build the app, run the following command in the root folder:
> go build .
Above command will generate walk file. This name is defined in the go.mod file, and it will be the initialized module name.
After that you can run the program using the cmd.
Example of listing filtered files of root directory:
> .\walk.exe -root root/directory/ -ext ".txt .rar"
