fselect

Find files with SQL-like queries

Examples

Find images (full path and size):

fselect path, size from /home/user where name = *.jpg or name = *.png

Find files (just names) with any content (size > 0):

fselect name from /home/user/tmp where size gt 0

or put arguments into the quotes:

fselect "name from /home/user/tmp where size > 0"

More complex query:

fselect name from /tmp where (name = *.tmp and size = 0) or (name = *.cfg and size gt 1000000)

Use single quotes if you need to address files with spaces:

fselect path from '/home/user/Misc stuff' where name != 'Some file'

Regular expressions supported:

fselect name from /home/user where path ~= .*Rust.*

And even simple glob will suffice:

fselect name from /home/user where path = *Rust*

Find files by creation date:

fselect path from /home/user where created = 2017-05-01

Be more specific to match all files created at 3PM:

fselect path from /home/user where created = '2017-05-01 15'

And even more specific:

fselect path from /home/user where created = '2017-05-01 15:10'
fselect path from /home/user where created = '2017-05-01 15:10:30'

Date and time intervals possible (find everything updated since May 1st):

fselect path from /home/user where modified gte 2017-05-01
