Thanks, I will take a look at it. 2010/8/22 Erik Hesselink

I've used the FileManip package for this. It works fine for my purposes. I have no idea what the performance is, though, beyond 'good enough not to care at the moment'.

Hello,

I would like to recode in Haskell a piece of bash program that uses find. The advantage of find is that it is quite easy to use and fast. Is there a package that let us access to find-like functionnalities, with similar performances? Or at least some C functions that could be used through the FFI? (I would like to avoid to recur through directories and match files myself, I tried it and the search lasts for ages).

Thanks for the HSH link, Magnus. Concerning FileManip, it seems that I can't perform easily a case-insensitive search (for instance with find, you just use -iname instead of -name). Am I wrong? 2010/8/22 Magnus Therning

Take a look at HSH on hackage. I've used that many times to inject some sanity into stuff that I used to do with bash.

I looked at both, and I have encoding issues with both.

My locale is fr_FR.utf8 For instance, with HSH: I have a 'bar' directory, containing a file 'fooé'

run $ "find bar" :: IO [String] returns me : ["bar", "bar/foo*\233*"]

and run $ "find bar -name fooé" returns []

When I provoke an error by running: run $ "find fooé" it says : find: "foo*\351*": No file or directory

So it is not the same encoding!

Yes, that's no good. I should put in a caveat, I have only used HSH in "privileged" locales. I urge you to raise it with the maintainer of HSH since it's a serious shortcoming. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
