Find That File!

A Python based file finder!

Want to find a file? This may help! Uses the text files in the Resources folder to create a list with the file name to add well known file extentions and hopefully it will find that file. WIP.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated as this is pretty much my first working/public program.

Usage:

Load up a terminal/command prompt in the main directory and type (or paste):

python FindThatFile.py

From here follow the prompts (file type, file name and location) and the program will give you the locations of any matching files. You can search file types with a wildcard (*) if you use the "Self-defined" option.

To add:

• Search by:
  • Type
  • Edit/creation date
  • To/from date
• Search style:
  • Fuzzy
  • Strict
• Additional:
  • Supply the directory
  • Flags
  • Generate text file with results
  • Add file paths to a document
  • Recursive search (subdirectories)
  • Open directory
  • Open Explorer showing the files
• Waaaaaaaay in the future:
  • Different OS compatability - will need to test as it maybe this by default...
  • GUI
