Update All Files Recursively In A Directory With A Give Extension With Rust
This is a very simple process that recursively loops over a directory and updates any files with a given extension:
use fs;
use PathBuf;
use WalkDir;
Notes
-
The [TODO: Code shorthand span ] function is responsibe for finding the filew with the extension. It passes them to [TODO: Code shorthand span ]
-
The [TODO: Code shorthand span ] function does the work. In this example I'm looking for the string [TODO: Code shorthand span ] in the file. I add it to the end of the file (after truncating it) if it's not already there
-
This code uses the [TODO: Code shorthand span ] create that can be installed with [TODO: Code shorthand span ]
-
One imporvement would be to move the file extension into an argument that's passed to the function
-
Adding more error handling is also possible, but I'm fine with this panicing if something goes wrong. It's effectively a one-off script.
