A script that search files based on tags enclosed inside the filename.
I use it a lot so maybe it will be useful to someone.
There are three versions in this repo:
-
tagger.c
C version, simple, fast...
This is the default version.
To use it you need to set the default search path, you can either:
-
use an environment variable:
export TAGGER_PATH="/home/user/your/documents" -
set the variable directly inside the program, to do so search for this line inside main:
const char *BASEDIR = "/your/path/here";
Compilation and installation (default path is ~/.local/bin/):
make build make run
The default regex use this file format:
+tag1,tag2+@filename

tagger.hs
A version in Haskell I wrote mostly for fun.
It still call grep behind the scene, but parse tags with Parsec.
It's a bit slow (compared to C) and hard to optimize. I did find a way to make it kind of portable, but the compilation still require stack and undreds of MB, so I wasn't happy with it.

tagger.sh
Simple and stupid, not safe at all (perform Bash eval and recursive calls), but it works.
