[pass] [PATCH] Add find/search command

[Von Welch]

Here's my version of using 'find' that I've built up to include
directories, not hit on the .gpg extension and other gotchas.

Obviously it's intended for zsh with the argument quoting, but all the find
parts should be portable.

Von

# Search passwords for string and return matches, one per line
search_pass() {
    local store="${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR:-$HOME/.password-store}"

    if test $# -ne 1 ; then
      echo "Usage: $0 <search_string>" 1>&2
      exit 1
    fi

    # Change dir to store so we can run 'find .' and not match
    # on password store directory.
    cd "${store}"

    # All arguments escaped and joined into one string
    search_string="${(j. .)${(q)@}}" ; shift

    # Find first clause prunes .git/ directory
    # Second clause matches entries with matching directory components
    # Third clause matches any part of filename, ignoring .gpg suffic
    # -iname and -ipath are case-insensitive
    # sed command strips password store path prefix and .gpg suffix
    find . -type d -name .git -prune \
      -o -ipath "*/*${search_string}*/*" -print \
      -o -iname "*${search_string}*.gpg" -type f -print \
      | sed -e "s#${store}.##" -e 's#\.gpg$##' | sort
}
