Advanced Patterns

fd uses regex by default.

Regex

# Starting with "test"
fd ^test

# Ending with .js or .ts
fd '\.(js|ts)$'

# Numbers in name
fd '\d+'

# Config files
fd 'conf(ig)?'

Extensions

# Single extension
fd -e py

# Multiple
fd -e js -e ts
fd -e jpg -e png -e gif

Exclude

# Exclude test files
fd .py -E '*test*'

# Multiple excludes
fd .js -E node_modules -E dist -E build

Search Full Path

By default fd only searches filenames. Use -p to search the full path:

# Files in any "src" directory
fd -p src/.*.js

# Config files in config directories
fd -p config/.*\.yml

Execute Commands

Run commands on results with -x:

# Delete all .log files
fd -e log -x rm {}

# Convert images
fd -e jpg -x convert {} {.}.png

# Run tests
fd test_ -x pytest {}

{} is the file path, {.} is path without extension. Commands run in parallel by default.
