several small tools.

Project description

Please remember that these are just some personal tools!

I wrote each of them to scratch an itch - for example because my mpd died
and I wanted to play the playlists anyway, or because I just needed to
play a folder at random (OK, I wanted to play all my 30GiB of music at random,
but hey... :) ).

If these tools eat your cat or do unruly things with your dog,
please don't blame me - but tell me ;)



Plans:
- None. At the moment I'm happy with this structure.


Ideas:
- Adding information, how to use Mercurial to use this structure
in your own project and keep it up to date while keeping your changes.
- Get the version information from the Changelog. -> i.e.: First line.split()[-1]
=> One less point where I have to change things when updating.

## babplay_mpd_playlist

Use mplayer to play an mpd playlist.

Usage:
babplay_mpd_playlist.py [options] <playlist without suffix>

Options:
--random shuffle list before playing

Dependencies:
* shell
* cat
* sed
* mplayer




## babplay_randomly

Tell mplayer to randomly play all passed files.

usage:
- babplay_randomly.py [--help] [-fs] [-caca] [DIR FILE DIR ...]
Just play all passed files and all files in the passed folders.
When called without files or folders, it plays the current folder.

Options:
-fs run full screen.
-caca use libcaca to play in ascii.


## babsearch_n_replace

Search and replace text strings inside text files.

usage:
- babsearch_n_replace.py [options] "Search String" "Replace String" file1 dir1 file2 file3
replace the text string in every text file
...

options:
--verbose
print the files in which we found the search string.
--dry-run
don't change any files.
--suffixes a list of suffixes seperated by commas.
Examples:
"--suffixes=.txt,.html" - only .txt and .html
"--sufixes=" - match all files.
Default: .txt,.mdwn,.yml,.xml,.htm,.html,.py

Decisions:
- No undoing, because undoing could do more harm than just replacing back
(would remove all new file changes -> damn unexpected!).

Ideas:
- Treat linebreaks as whitespace.



## get_all_files

This module serves only for providing the get_all_files_in(dir) function,
since I need it quite often.

usage:
>>> from get_all_files import get_all_files_in
>>> files = get_all_files_in(".")
