* âś… Simple but agile utility for renaming text throughout a project directory,
including file- and directory- names: Rename-InProject -> rip
* âś… Pretty good wrapper for robocopy, Microsoft's robuust file copy utility: Start-RoboCopy -> rc, xc
* âś… Folder synchronization
* âś… Support for extra long pathnames > 256 characters
* âś… Restartable mode backups
* âś… Support for copying and fixing security settings
* âś… Advanced file attribute features
* âś… Advanced symbolic link and junction support
* âś… Monitor mode (restart copying after change threshold)
* âś… Optimization features for LargeFiles, multithreaded copying and
network compression
* âś… Recovery mode (copy from failing disks)
* âś… Find files with Find-Item -> l
* âś… Fast multi-threaded search: utilizes parallel and asynchronous
IO processing with configurable maximum degree of parallelism
(default based on CPU cores) for efficient file and directory scanning.
* âś… Advanced Pattern Matching: Supports wildcards (*, ?), recursive patterns
like **, and complex path structures for precise file and directory queries.
**/filename will only recurse until filename is matched. multiple of these
patterns are allowed, as long as the are preceeded with a filename or
directoryname to match.
* âś… Enhanced Content Searching: Comprehensive Select-String integration
with regular expression patterns within file contents using the
-Content parameter.
* âś… Large File Optimization: Handles extremely large files with smart
overlapping buffers and minimal heap allocation
* âś… Multiple Match Options: Find all matches per line (-AllMatches) or
just the first match per file (-List)
* âś… Case Sensitivity Control: Case-sensitive matching (-CaseSensitive)
with culture-specific options (-Culture)
* âś… Context Capture: Show lines before and after matches (-Context) for
better understanding
* âś… Inverse Matching: Find files that don't contain the pattern (-NotMatch)
* âś… Output Formats: Raw string output (-Raw), quiet boolean response (-Quiet),
or full MatchInfo objects
* âś… Pattern Types: Regular expressions (default) or simple literal string
matching (-SimpleMatch)
* âś… Encoding Support: Specify file encoding (-Encoding) for accurate text
processing
* âś… Path Type Flexibility: Handles relative, absolute, UNC, rooted paths, and
NTFS alternate data streams (ADS) with optional content search in streams.
* âś… Multi-Drive Support: Searches across all drives with -AllDrives or specific
drives via -SearchDrives, including optical disks if specified.
* âś… Directory and File Filtering: Options to search directories only (-Directory),
both files and directories (-FilesAndDirectories), or files with content matching.
* âś… Exclusion and Limits: Exclude patterns with -Exclude, set max recursion depth
-MaxRecursionDepth), file size limits (-MaxFileSize, -MinFileSize), and modified
date filters (-ModifiedAfter, -ModifiedBefore).
* âś… Output Customization: Supports PassThru for FileInfo/DirectoryInfo objects,
relative paths, hyperlinks in attended mode, or plain paths in unattended mode
(use -NoLinks in case of mishaps to enforce unattended mode).
* âś… Performance Optimizations: Skips non-text files by default for content search
(override with -IncludeNonTextFileMatching), handles long paths (>260 chars),
and follows symlinks/junctions.
* âś… Safety Features: Timeout support (-TimeoutSeconds), ignores inaccessible items,
skips system attributes by default, and prevents infinite loops with visited node tracking.
* âś… Delete complete directory contents with Remove-AllItems -> sdel
* âś… Optionally delete the root folder as well
* âś… Move files and directories with Move-ItemWithTracking
