Perun2

Perun2 is a free and open-source tool for creating filesystem automation plugins.

To make them possible, it provides a tiny programming language that is...

Statically typed
Declarative
Keyword-based

Compare it with several alternatives:

Open the freshest pdf file from this directory.

PowerShell

Get-ChildItem -Filter *.pdf | Sort-Object -Descending -Property CreationTime | select -First 1 | % {Invoke-Item $_.FullName}

Perun2

open '*.pdf'
order by creation desc
limit 1

Delete all empty directories from the directory tree, but only if their name is not src nor res.

PowerShell

Get-ChildItem $path -Recurse
-Directory | Where-Object { ($_.GetFiles().Count -eq 0)
-and ($_.Name -ne 'src')
-and ($_.Name -ne 'res') } |
% {Remove-Item $_.FullName}

Perun2

delete recursiveDirectories
where empty
and name not in ('src', 'res')

Move pdf files older than 9 days to the recycle bin.

Python

import os, time
from send2trash import send2trash

path = "c:\\somepath"
now = time.time()

for filename in os.listdir(path):
  p = os.path.join(path, filename)
  if os.path.isfile(p):
    if filename.endswith(".pdf"):
      filestamp = os.stat(p).st_mtime
      filecompare = now - 9 * 86400
      if filestamp < filecompare:
        send2trash(p)

Perun2

delete '*.pdf'
where lifetime > 9 days

Of all directories here, hide these that do not contain any mp3 file.

foreach(var d in Directory.GetDirectories("c://some//path"))
{
  if (!Directory.EnumerateFiles(d, "*.mp3") .Any())
  {
    DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(d);
    di.Attributes = FileAttributes.Directory | FileAttributes.Hidden;
  }
}

Perun2

hide directories
where not anyInside('*.mp3')
