This package provides a single function, FileFind.find, which:
- Performs a depth-first search of a directory starting at
dir_name - Calls a function
fon every file/directory encountered along the way - Does not follow symlinks to prevent cycles
require("FileFind")
# The simplest scenario possible
FileFind.find()
# Specifying a directory explicitly
FileFind.find(".")
# Specifying a function explicitly
FileFind.find(fn -> println(isfile(fn)))
# Specifying both a directory and a function explicitly
function file_name_and_size(filename)
println(strcat(filename, " ", filesize(filename)))
end
FileFind.find(".", file_name_and_size)
# Using a closure to maintain global state across function calls
total_bytes = 0
function total_size(filename)
global total_bytes
total_bytes += filesize(filename)
end
FileFind.find(".", total_size)
total_bytes
- Implement missing functionality from Perl's File::Find
- Non-cyclic symlink following
- Preorder vs. postorder calls to input function
