Find files with tags that match a regex

[themiurgo]

It would be useful to have a way to find files with tags matching a regex. As far as I understand there is no way to do it now.

I would like to second that - this tool is great but it would be even more useful if we could match tags based on a prefix, wildcard, or ideally a regex.

It would be nice to have this ability included, but you can probably accomplish this using something along these lines:

tag --find * | grep -E 'your regex'

You may need to adjust some of the options for tag's output in order to get exactly what you need.

Bleh. Meant to escape that *. Oh well, you get the idea.

Since this tool is mainly a wrapper for the system calls, I doubt that will be added....

Finding files with tags that match a regex could certainly be added, but I haven't yet had the time or motivation, unfortunately. Patches welcome... ;)
