Searching

cde searches every catalog it loads. Choose the command by how you want to match.

You want to	Command
Match a piece of the file name	`cde find`
Match a piece of the full path	`cde findpath`
Match a regular expression on the name	`cde grep`
Match a regular expression on the full path	`cde greppath`
Combine terms with AND, OR and NOT, or restrict to files or folders	`cde everything`
Search again and again without reloading the catalogs	`cde replfind`, `cde replgrep`, `cde replgreppath`

Shape the output

find, findpath, grep, greppath and everything all take two options:

--template sets how each match line is written. See Output templates.
--filter keeps only the matches that pass a test, such as a size range. See Filters.

cde grep "\.iso$" --filter "{size:>4GB}" --template "{size:GB}\t{catalog} {fullpath}"

<, >, | and ! mean something to a shell. Always put filters and Everything queries in quotes.

To sort and browse results, use cdeWin or cde-tauri.
