About

Use this program to grep (search) for an ordered list of files. Example: Within a given directory, you could find the most recently updated files that contain the text 'hello world'.

Installation

npm install -g grepord

Usage

grepord <grep arguments>… [-sort:[<fs.Stats property>][,][(desc|asc)][,][<limit number>]]

Grepord requires grep to already be installed. Type grep -h to check if grep is installed.

To use this program, you must enter grep arguments that will return file paths. Example: grepord -iRl './' -e 'hello world'

You can sort by the properties of fs.Stats. See: https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_class_fs_stats

The default sort is mtime descending. The format for changing the sort is -sort: as the last argument, with an optional fs.Stats property, a comma, an optional desc or asc, a comma and then an optional limit number (This operates the same way as the SQL LIMIT/TOP clause). Example: grepord -iRl './test' -e 'hello' -sort:birthtimeMs,asc,1
