(FR) Implement Fuzzy search

[lbesnard]

Implementing Fuzzy search would (I believe) improve greatly the user experience. Once used in other cli tools, it's hard to go back.

Python package:
https://pypi.org/project/fuzzysearch/

I'm happy to look at trying to implement it and create a PR if interested

thanks for a great tool. Perfect with i3/dmenu

Which command are you talking about? Can you give examples for what you mean?

[lbesnard]

I meant to replace maybe the grep function with the python package mentioned above:
https://github.com/Evidlo/passhole/blob/master/passhole/passhole.py#L758

As an example, this is a way of how this works with the commandline
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

This means that if you're looking for example for an entry named "password_spotify_all_familly", you could only type "psspotifam" and even with some typo.

I'm open to this idea, but it needs to be implemented through regular expressions as that's what's used under the hood for searching.

Something like this would be ideal, but I don't think that XML regex supports lookaheds.

An option might be to substitute spaces with '.*' so that ps spoti fam would give the regex ps.*spoti.*fam and that would match your example.

Almost a year late but this is what end up doing.

First a python script to get all entries and print them to stdout, then a sh script to unlock the db, then call the python script and pipe that to fzf, once selected, copies the password to the clipboard. A bit hacky but it works great.

from passhole.passhole import open_database
kp = open_database()
class bcolors:
    HEADER = '\033[95m'
    OKBLUE = '\033[94m'
    OKCYAN = '\033[96m'
    OKGREEN = '\033[92m'
    WARNING = '\033[93m'
    FAIL = '\033[91m'
    ENDC = '\033[0m'
    BOLD = '\033[1m'
    UNDERLINE = '\033[4m'
for e in kp.entries:
    print(f"{e.group}::{bcolors.OKCYAN+e.title+ bcolors.ENDC}::{e.username}::{e.password}::")

ph eval 'print("db unlocked")'
python ~/.local/bin/keepass2fzf.py | fzf --ansi --height=20 --preview-window=down,1 --preview="echo {4}" --with-nth 1..3 -d "::" --bind 'enter:become(echo -n {4} | xsel -ib)'
