RegSort - File Organizer 🗂️

RegSort is a simple and efficient command-line tool designed to help you organize your files based on custom patterns and rules. It automatically sorts files in your selected folder into predefined directories based on regex patterns.

🚀 Features

• ✅ Automatically move files based on regex patterns defined in a configuration file.
• 🔍 Support for file types, file names, and other pattern-based rules.
• 🧪 Supports "dry-run" mode to simulate the file organization without making changes.
• ⚙️ Customizable configuration to easily define your sorting rules.
• 📝 Log every action taken for traceability and debugging.
• 📂 Create target directories if they don't exist.

🛠️ How it Works

RegSort watches a specified directory and organizes files into folders based on rules you define in a TOML configuration file. Each rule consists of:

• A regex pattern that matches the file name or type.
• A target directory where files matching the pattern will be moved.

For example, you can configure it to move .pdf files into a Documents/Invoices folder and .exe files into a Documents/Programs folder.

📝 Configuration Example

The configuration file (config.toml) is simple and flexible. Here is an example:

[config]
source_dir = "in"
dry_run = false
log = true

[[rules]]
pattern = ".*\\.txt"
target = "out/txt"

[[rules]]
pattern = ".*\\.csv"
target = "out/csv"

The above configuration

• set source dir to /in
• does not set dry-run mode - changes will be applied
• set log level to DEBUG
• moves .txt files from /in/* to out/txt directory
• moves .csv files from /in/* to out/csv directory

🎬‍ Usage Example

Within this repository run

export REG_SORT_CONFIG=config.toml

And then

cargo run

Add .txt file to /in repo. It should be moved to out/txt.
