fselect

Find files with SQL-like queries. More information: https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect.

  • Select full path and size from temporary or configuration files in a given directory:

fselect size, path from path/to/directory where name = '*.cfg' or name = '*.tmp'

  • Find square images:

fselect path from path/to/directory where width = height

  • Find old-school rap 320kbps MP3 files:

fselect path from path/to/directory where genre = Rap and bitrate = 320 and mp3_year lt 2000

  • Select only the first 5 results and output as JSON:

fselect size, path from path/to/directory limit 5 into json

  • Use SQL aggregate functions to calculate minimum, maximum and average size of files in a directory:

fselect "MIN(size), MAX(size), AVG(size), SUM(size), COUNT(*) from path/to/directory"
