Software:Fuzzy finder

A fuzzy finder is a computer program for performing fuzzy search. The program reads the list from stdin, the user interactively filters this, and the program writes the result to stdout. Fuzzy finders are often used in combination with Unix commands such as find, grep and ls.

Examples

The following example interactively selects regular files from the current working directory tree and write the result to selected:

find * -type f | fzf > selected
