iwholename

The iwholename library is a powerful tool for programmers to manipulate and search file paths based on their whole names efficiently. It provides a set of functions and methods that make it easy to perform operations on file paths in a variety of scenarios.

Features

Searching for file paths

The iwholename library allows programmers to search for file paths based on their whole names, making it convenient to locate specific files in a directory tree. It provides functions such as find_wholename() and find_all_wholenames() that return the paths matching the specified names.

from iwholename import find_wholename

# Find a single file path with a given whole name
path = find_wholename('filename.txt', start_path='.')

# Find all file paths with the same whole name
paths = find_all_wholenames('filename.txt', start_path='.')

Filtering file paths

With iwholename, programmers can easily filter file paths based on their whole names using the filter_wholename() and filter_all_wholenames() functions. These functions allow for more specific and customized selection of file paths.

from iwholename import filter_wholename

# Filter file paths using a whole name pattern
filtered_paths = filter_wholename('*.txt', paths)

Manipulating file paths

The library also provides methods to manipulate file paths, including renaming files and directories based on their whole names. The rename_wholename() function can be used to rename a single file path, while the rename_all_wholenames() function can rename multiple file paths with the same whole name.

from iwholename import rename_wholename

# Rename a file with a given whole name
rename_wholename('old_file.txt', 'new_file.txt')

# Rename all files with the same whole name
rename_all_wholenames('old_file.txt', 'new_file.txt')

Markdown formatting of code snippets

To ensure a proper representation of code snippets, the returned code should be formatted using Markdown. Here's an example of marking the code snippet using Markdown:

```python
from iwholename import find_wholename

path = find_wholename('filename.txt', start_path='.')

Remember to include the language name (e.g., `python`, `javascript`) after the opening triple backticks to specify the code's language.
