FINDING MY FILES WITH RUBY

Here i share code i wrote to search my study related material which was spread all over the Hard disk in multiple partitions.

So I have all my learning stuff spread in multiple folders, which is nasty when i want to find something. Apart from different folders the stuff is divided in different partitions, so i spent time in finding what i need.

I decided to write a code and solve this problem. I made this for lnux distro which I use

exit
end
Dir.glob("**/*").each do |x|

#print "Filename >>\t".color(:cyan).bright,"#{y}\n".color(:gold),"Path >>\t\t".color(:yellow),"#{cp}\/#{x}\n\n".color(:coral)
print "\[#{count}\]. Filename >>\t".color(:cyan).bright,"#{y}\t".color(:gold),"\n"
#print "\tFilepath >>\t".color(:green).bright,"#{cp}\/#{x}\n\n"
index<<"#{cp}\/#{x}"
count+=1

end
end
end

puts "Enter the index".color(:cyan).bright
bo=gets.chomp.to_i
begin
index[bo]=index[bo].gsub(" ","\\ ")
`xdg-open #{index[bo]} &`

You need to set the path array to all the locations that you want to search the files in. That is line 29 and 30 in the above code.

EXECUTE

Simply execute the script by SCRIPTNAME.rb
Enter the book name upon search.
Enter the index of the file, the script will open the file for you )
