This module contains a script to create and find directories in a filesystem interactively and a accompanying perl module that does the job of creating and finding the directories. You may install the module and script like any other perl module, i.e. either running $ perl Build.PL $ ./Build test $ sudo ./Build install or $ perl Makefile.PL $ make test $ sudo make install If you just want the script, you may take the script gen_single_file to incorporate the library into the script and have all in one place. $ gen_single_file bin/mkdir_heute > mkdir_heute_single Place mkdir_heute_single anywhere in your $PATH. mkdir_heute - create and find directories interactive ----------------------------------------------------- This script scans a basedir (~/A) for directories named YYYY/MM/DD where YYYY, MM and DD are numbers corresponding to a year, month, day of month, prints them on STDERR and asks for your input on STDIN. You may - choose a directory from the list with it’s number - choose the current directory with ’q’ or ’.’ - advance to the next or last page with ’n’ or ’l’ - return to the previous or first page with ’p’ or ’f’ - constrain the shown directories with ’/’ and a pattern - constrain the creation date of the directories with ’d’ followed by ’=’, ’<’ or ’>’ and a date (eg. 2009, 2009-04 or 2009-04-24) - create a new directory with ’+’ and a description for it End your input with or . The script returns the choosen directory on STDOUT and may be used in a shell alias like this: alias cdheute='cd `mkdir_heute`' or alias cdheute='cd $(mkdir_heute)' so that you can say ’cdheute’ on the command line and your working directory will be changed to the choosen directory.
