A tiny utility script based on python to index, search and open files quickly

Place alias o='python -ux ~/bashwork/o.cmd' in yout .bashrc file.

And, place o.py o.cmd files in ~/bashwork

Using o.cmd file, if you want to open file Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide.pdf

o . advanced bash

However, if you aren't sure of the filename, like ../tv/cosmos/episode s2e3.mp4. Then, use , instead of .. Like,

o , cosmos s2e3

If you don't have bash on you system or only comfortable with py version. Then, use

python o.py . advanced bash

python o.py . cosmos s2e3

To reset the index, use o -index

Thanks to S Anand for re-introducing Bash.
