===

*Info:* An utility to search files recursively on a dir.

About
---

Basically, replaces `find . -name '*FILE_PATTERN*'` with `ffind.py FILE_PATTERN`

- Input filename maybe a regex
- Search recursively on current directory by default.
- If the FILE_PATTERN is all in lowercase, the search will be case insensitive, unless a flag is set.
- Regex can affect only the filename (default) or the full path.
- Will print colorized output in glamorous red (default), except on redirected output.
- Ignores hidden directories (directories starting with .) by default, but this can be disabled
- Can ignore source control common directories
- Follow symlinks by default, but that can be deactivated if necessary to avoid
recursion problems
- Requires python2.7
- Can delete match files
- Can execute a command on match files
- Experimental fuzzy search

Common uses:

- `ffind txt` to return all text files in current dir
- `ffind ../other_dir txt` to return all text files under dir ../other_dir (or `ffind.py txt -d ../other_dir`)


All options

usage: ffind.py [-h] [-p] [--nocolor] [--nosymlinks] [--hidden] [-c]
[--delete] [--exec "command"] [--ignore-vcs] [-f] [--version]
[dir] filepattern

Search file name in directory tree

positional arguments:
dir Directory to search
filepattern

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p Match whole path, not only name of files
--nocolor Do not display color
--nosymlinks Do not follow symlinks (following symlinks can lead to
infinite recursion)
--hidden Do not ignore hidden directories
-c Force case sensitive. By default, all lowercase patterns
are case insensitive
--delete Delete files found
--exec "command" Execute the given command with the file found as argument.
The string '{}' will be replaced with the current file
name being processed
--ignore-vcs Ignore version control system files and directories
-f Experimental fuzzy search. Increases the matches, use with
care. Combining it with regex may give crazy results
--version Show program's version number and exit
