# `fuzip` - fuzzy zipping for scripting Trying to match separate collections of stuff together for zipping For example, say you have a folder of audio tracks, and a folder of video tracks. They follow a similar, but not identical naming scheme. If there are 50 files in each and you want to combine the corresponding pairs with ffmpeg or something, you do not want to do this by hand, but also this really doesn't feel like something you should have to crack out a high level scripting langauge for. That's where `fuzip` wants to come in - you'd point it at both the two folders and it'd output the most likely pairs of of files. I'd also plan on having some kind of command execution support with templating, similar to `xargs` and `find`. ## Usage ``` Usage: fuzip [OPTIONS] [DIR] [DIR]... Arguments: [DIR] [DIR]... Directories to match files from Options: -v, --verbose Print commands before executing them -x, --exec The command template to execute Use 1-based indices surrounded by curly brackets to substite, e.g. "echo {1} {2}" -n, --dry-run Don't run command, just show what would be run --full-only Only show complete zips, no partial ones --filter Ignore any values (from any input) that don't match this regular expression -h, --help Print help (see a summary with '-h') -V, --version Print version ``` ## Beyond proof of concept Maybe try N collection zipping Customisable handling of incomplete matching (e.g. if one folder has ten files and the other has seven) Abstraction over inputs: support reading from files instead of using directory listings etc.
