regex-copy

Copy and remove files with one command. Also, a regular expression can filter files that will be copied or removed.

Features

• Recursively copy the whole directory.
• Copy several directories (to one directory) at once.
• Remove files after files were copied, if you want.
• Can be used in two-way (cli and es-module).

As a cli tool

$ regex-copy -r '^(.*)\.js$' -d './dist' './src'
$ rgcp './src' './dist'
$ rgcp './src1' './src2' './dist'
$ rgcp './src1' './src2' './src3' ... './srcn' './dist'
$ rgcp './src' './dist' -e '**/*.ts' -r '**/*.js' -p '**/*.ts'

Options

• -e: Determines which files to exclude from copy in glob pattern.
• --exclude: Determines which files to exclude from copy in glob pattern. It takes Array expressed by JSON string as a parameter.
• -E: Determines which files to exclude from copy in regular expression.
• --regex-exclude: Determines which files to exclude from copy in regular expression. It takes Array expressed by JSON string as a parameter.
• -r: Determines which files to remove in glob pattern.
• --remove: Determines which files to remove in glob pattern. It takes Array expressed by JSON string as a parameter.
• -R: Determines which files to remove in regular expression.
• --regex-remove: Determines which files to remove in regular expression. It takes Array expressed by JSON string as a parameter.
• -p: Determines which files to preserve in glob pattern.
• --preserve: Determines which files to preserve in glob pattern. It takes Array expressed by JSON string as a parameter.
• -P: Determines which files to preserve in regular expression.
• --regex-preserve: Determines which files to preserve in regular expression. It takes Array expressed by JSON string as a parameter.
• -f, --flat: Determines uncovering folder level.
• -t: Whether to test targets. If this flag set as true, no file system action will be performed
• --reset: Whether to empty destination before copying. If this flag set as true, empty destination directory before copying files

As an es-module

import { regexCopy } from "regex-copy";
regexCopy( [ ...[ paths ], dest ], { enlist, exclude, remove, preserve, flat, removeEmpty, test } )// Returns a Promise with undefined.

Example

import { regexCopy } from "regex-copy";
regexCopy( [ "C:/Users/Isitea/AppData/Local/Temp", "C:/Users/Default/AppData/Local/Temp", "C:/Temp" ], { exclude: [ /.+/, "**/*" ], remove: [ "**/*.tmp" ], preserve: [ "**/*" ], test: true, reset: true } );

As an es-module for Deno

import { regexCopy } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";
