Searching for executables with regular expressions
marier-nico opened this issue · comments
Hi, thanks for the nice crate!
I had a feature request that I think could be really nice and add a lot of use-cases to the crate.
The idea is to add the possibility to use regular expressions to find all the paths to all executables matching a certain pattern. This can be useful when you can have multiple versions of the same program installed and want to find all available versions. For example, with python, you have python3.5, python3.7, python3.10, etc.
It would be really nice to be able to use something like which::which_all_re(r"python3.\d+") to find all the available versions. This could maybe be an optional feature by using Cargo's features.
I'm curious to know what you think 😄
It ok to me. But I have not much time to implement it immediately. PR is welcome 😄
Sounds good, I'll try to come up with something this weekend if I have time! 🚀
