File: find-lisp.el.html

This is a very generalized form of find; it basically implements a recursive directory descent. The conditions which bound the search are expressed as predicates, and I have not addressed the question of how to wrap up the common chores that find does in a simpler format than writing code for all the various predicates.

Some random thoughts are to express simple queries directly with user-level functions, and perhaps use some kind of forms interface for medium-level queries. Really complicated queries can be expressed in Lisp.

; Todo

It would be nice if we could sort the results without running the find again. Maybe that could work by storing the original file attributes?
