.. code:: python

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> from hansel import Crumb

# create the crumb
>>> crumb = Crumb("{base_dir}/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")

# set the base_dir path
>>> crumb = crumb.replace(base_dir='/tmp/hansel/data')
>>> print(str(crumb))
/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}

# get the ids of the subjects
>>> subj_ids = crumb['subject_id']
>>> print(subj_ids)
['0040000', '0040001', '0040002', '0040003', '0040004', '0040005', ...

# get the paths to the subject folders, the output can be strings or crumbs,
# you choose with the ``make_crumbs`` boolean argument. Default: True.
>>> subj_paths = crumb.ls('subject_id', make_crumbs=True)
>>> pprint(subj_paths)
[Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040004/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 ...

# set the image_type
>>> anat_crumb = crumb.replace(image_type='anat_1')
>>> print(anat_crumb)
/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/anat_1/{image}

# get the paths to the images inside the anat_1 folders
>>> anat_paths = anat_crumb.ls('image')
>>> pprint(anat_paths)
[Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040004/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 ...

# get the ``session_id`` of each of these ``anat_paths``
>>> sessions = [cr['session_id'][0] for cr in anat_paths]
>>> print(sessions)
['session_1', 'session_1', 'session_1', 'session_1', 'session_1', ...

# if you don't want the the output to be ``Crumbs`` but string paths:
>>> anat_paths = anat_crumb.ls('image', make_crumbs=False)
>>> pprint(anat_paths)
['/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040004/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz',
 ...

# you can also use a list of ``fnmatch`` expressions to ignore certain files patterns
# using the ``ignore_list`` argument in the constructor.
# For example, the files that start with '.'.
>>> crumb = Crumb("{base_dir}/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}", ignore_list=['.*'])

Once you have a fully defined Crumb, you can use its path for operations with the corresponding file. For that you have to convert it to string by using str(crumb) or crumb.path.

Long Intro

I often find myself in a work related with structured folder paths, such as the one shown above.

I have tried many ways of solving these situations: loops, dictionaries, configuration files, etc. I always end up doing a different thing for the same problem over and over again.

This week I grew tired of it and decided to make a representation of a structured folder tree in a string and access it the most easy way.

If you look at the folder structure above I have:

the root directory from where it is hanging: ...data/raw,
many identifiers (in this case a subject identification), e.g., 0040000,
session identification, session_1 and
a data type (in this case an image type), anat_1 and rest_1.

With hansel I can represent this folder structure like this:

.. code:: python

>>> from hansel import Crumb
>>> crumb = Crumb("{base_dir}/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")

Let's say we have the structure above hanging from a base directory like /home/hansel/.

I can use the replace function to make set the base_dir parameter:

.. code:: python

>>> crumb = crumb.replace(base_dir='/home/hansel')
>>> print(str(crumb))
/home/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}

if I don't need a copy of crumb, I can use the [] operator:

.. code:: python

>>> crumb['base_dir'] = '/tmp/hansel'
>>> print(str(crumb))
/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}

Now that the root path of my dataset is set, I can start querying my crumb path.

If I want to know the path to the existing subject_id folders:

We can use the ls function. Its output can be str or Crumb. I can choose this using the make_crumbs argument (default: True):

.. code:: python

>>> subj_crumbs = crumb.ls('subject_id')
>>> pprint(subj_crumbs)
[Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040004/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
 ...

>>> subj_paths = crumb.ls('subject_id', make_crumbs=False)
>>> pprint(subj_paths)
['/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}',
 '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040004/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}',
 ...

If I want to know what are the existing subject_id:

.. code:: python

>>> subj_ids = crumb.ls('subject_id', fullpath=False)
>>> print(subj_ids)
['0040000', '0040001', '0040002', '0040003', '0040004', '0040005', ...

.. code:: python

>>> subj_ids = crumb['subject_id']
>>> print(subj_ids)
['0040000', '0040001', '0040002', '0040003', '0040004', '0040005', ...

Now, if I wanted to get the path to all the images inside the anat_1 folders, I could do this:

.. code:: python

>>> anat_crumb = crumb.replace(image_type='anat_1')
>>> print(anat_crumb)
/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/anat_1/{image}

or if I don't need to keep a copy of crumb:

.. code:: python

>>> crumb['image_type'] = 'anat_1'

# get the paths to the images inside the anat_1 folders
>>> anat_paths = crumb.ls('image')
>>> pprint(anat_paths)
[Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040004/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
 ...

Remember that I can still access the replaced crumb arguments in each of the previous crumbs in anat_paths.

.. code:: python

>>> subj_ids = [cr['subject_id'][0] for cr in anat_paths]
>>> print(subj_ids)
['0040000', '0040001', '0040002', '0040003', '0040004', ...

>>> files = [cr['image'][0] for cr in anat_paths]
>>> print(files)
['mprage.nii.gz', 'mprage.nii.gz', 'mprage.nii.gz', 'mprage.nii.gz', ...

More features and tricks

There are more possibilities such as:

Creating folder trees


Use `mktree` and `ParameterGrid` to create a tree of folders.

    .. code:: python

        >>> from hansel import mktree
        >>> from hansel.utils import ParameterGrid

        >>> crumb = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")

        >>> session_ids = ["session_{}".format(i) for i in range(2)]
        >>> subject_ids = ["subj_{}".format(i) for i in range(3)]

        >>> values_map = dict(session_id=session_ids, subject_id=subject_ids)

        >>> crumbs = mktree(crumb, list(ParameterGrid(values_map)))
        >>> pprint(crumbs)
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/subj_0/session_0/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/subj_1/session_0/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/subj_2/session_0/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/subj_0/session_1/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/subj_1/session_1/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/subj_2/session_1/{image_type}/{image}")]


Check the feasibility of a crumb path

.. code:: python

    >>> crumb = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")

    # ask if there is any subject with the image 'lollipop.png'.
    >>> crumb['image'] = 'lollipop.png'
    >>> assert not crumb.exists()

Check which subjects have 'jujube.png' and 'toffee.png' files


    .. code:: python

        >>> crumb = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")

        >>> toffee_crumb = crumb.replace(image='toffee.png')
        >>> jujube_crumb = crumb.replace(image='jujube.png')

        # using sets functionality
        >>> gluttons = set(toffee_crumb['subject_id']).intersection(set(jujube_crumb['subject_id']) # doctest: +SKIP
        >>> print(gluttons)  # doctest: +SKIP
        ['gretel', 'hansel']


Use the `intersection` function
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use it for comparisons on more than one crumb argument.
This can be used to compare datasets with the same structure in different folders.

*One argument*

Imagine that we have two working folders of subjects for two different projects: `proj1` and `proj2`.
If I want to check what subjects are common to both projects:

    .. code:: python

        >>> from hansel import intersection

        # using one argument
        >>> cr_proj1 = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj1/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")
        >>> cr_proj2 = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj2/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")

        # set the `on` argument in `intersection` to specify which crumb arguments to merge.
        >>> merged = intersection(cr_proj1, cr_proj2, on=['subject_id'])
        >>> pprint(merged)
        [(('subject_id', '0040006'),),
         (('subject_id', '0040007'),),
         (('subject_id', '0040008'),),
         (('subject_id', '0040009'),)]

        # I can pick these subject crumbs from this result using the `build_paths` function.
        >>> proj1_merged_paths = cr_proj1.build_paths(merged, make_crumbs=True)
        >>> type(proj1_merged_paths)
        <class 'generator'>

        >>> pprint(list(proj1_merged_paths))
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj1/0040006/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj1/0040007/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj1/0040008/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj1/0040009/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")]

        >>> pprint(list(cr_proj2.build_paths(merged, make_crumbs=True)))
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj2/0040006/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj2/0040007/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj2/0040008/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj2/0040009/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")]


*Two arguments*

Now, imagine that I have different sets of `{image}` for these subjects.
I want to check which of those subjects have exactly the same images.
Let's say that the subject `0040000` has a `anatomical.nii.gz` instead of `mprage.nii.gz`.

    .. code:: python

        >>> from hansel import intersection

        # using one argument
        >>> cr_proj3 = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj3/{subject_id}/{session_id}/anat_1/{image}")
        >>> cr_proj4 = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj4/{subject_id}/{session_id}/anat_1/{image}")

        # set the `on` argument in `intersection` to specify which crumb arguments to merge.
        >>> merged = intersection(cr_proj3, cr_proj4, on=['subject_id', 'image'])
        >>> pprint(merged)
        [(('subject_id', '0040001'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         (('subject_id', '0040002'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         (('subject_id', '0040003'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         (('subject_id', '0040004'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
        ...

        # I can pick these image crumbs from this result using the `build_paths` function.
        >>> pprint(list(cr_proj3.build_paths(merged, make_crumbs=True)))
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj3/0040001/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj3/0040002/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj3/0040003/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj3/0040004/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         ...

        >>> pprint(list(cr_proj4.build_paths(merged, make_crumbs=True)))
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj4/0040001/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj4/0040002/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj4/0040003/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/proj4/0040004/{session_id}/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
        ...

        # adding 'mod' to the intersection would be:
        >>> common_values = intersection(cr_proj3, cr_proj4, on=['subject_id', 'session_id', 'image'])
        >>> pprint(common_values, width=120)
        [(('subject_id', '0040001'), ('session_id', 'session_1'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         (('subject_id', '0040002'), ('session_id', 'session_1'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         (('subject_id', '0040003'), ('session_id', 'session_1'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         (('subject_id', '0040004'), ('session_id', 'session_1'), ('image', 'mprage.nii.gz')),
         ...


The `unfold` and `ls` functions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unfold the whole crumb path to get the whole file tree in a list of paths:

    .. code:: python

        >>> all_images = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")
        >>> all_images = all_images.unfold()
        >>> pprint(all_images)
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040003/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
        ...

        # and you can ask for the value of the crumb argument in each element
        >>> print(all_images[0]['subject_id'])
        ['0040000']

Note that `unfold` is the same as calling `ls` function without arguments.


Use regular expressions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use ``re.match`` or ``fnmatch`` expressions to filter the paths:

The syntax for crumb arguments with a regular expression is: ``"{<arg_name>:<arg_regex>}"``

    .. code:: python

        # only the session_1 folders
        >>> session1_cr = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id:*_1}/{image_type}/{image}")
        >>> session1_imgs = session1_cr.ls()
        >>> pprint(session1_imgs)
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
        ...

The default is for ``fnmatch`` expressions. If you prefer using ``re.match`` for filtering,
set the ``regex`` argument to ``'re'`` or ``'re.ignorecase'`` in the constructor.

    .. code:: python

        # only the rest images from the subject ``040000``
        >>> s0_rest_cr = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id:.*00$}/{session_id}/{image_type:rest.*}/{image}", regex='re')
        >>> s0_rest_imgs = s0_rest_cr.ls()
        >>> print(s0_rest_imgs)
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz")]

The regular expressions can be checked with the `patterns` property.

    .. code:: python

        >>> pprint(s0_rest_cr.patterns)
        {'image_type': 'rest.*', 'subject_id': '.*00$'}

And can be also modified with the `set_pattern` function.

    .. code:: python

        >>> s0_rest_cr.set_pattern('session_id', '.*_1$')
        >>> pprint(s0_rest_cr.patterns)
        {'image_type': 'rest.*', 'session_id': '.*_1$', 'subject_id': '.*00$'}
        >>> s0_rest_cr.path
        '/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id:.*00$}/{session_id:.*_1$}/{image_type:rest.*}/{image}'


A regular expression can be temporarily set with the `ls` function and the `[]`
operator.

    .. code:: python

        >>> crumb = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subject_id}/{session_id}/{image_type}/{image}")
        >>> mprage_crumb = crumb.ls('image:mprage.*')
        >>> pprint(mprage_crumb)
        [Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040000/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040001/session_1/rest_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
         Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/0040002/session_1/anat_1/mprage.nii.gz"),
        ...

        >>> pprint(crumb['image:mprage.*'])
        ['mprage.nii.gz',
         'mprage.nii.gz',
         'mprage.nii.gz',
         'mprage.nii.gz',
         'mprage.nii.gz',
         'mprage.nii.gz',
        ...


Copy and modify folder structure with `crumb_copy`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Copy a folder structure from one crumb to the other. The source crumb
must be fully specified, i.e., all crumb arguments must get an existing value.
In addition the destination crumb can only have a subset of the crumb arguments
of the source crumb.

    .. code:: python

        >>> from hansel import Crumb, crumb_copy
        >>> src_cr = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/raw/{subj_id}/{sess}/{type}/{img}")
        >>> dst_cr = Crumb("/tmp/hansel/data/copy/{subj_id}/{sess}/{type}")
        >>> crumb_copy(src_cr, dst_cr)


More functionalities, ideas and comments are welcome.


Command Line
============

`hansel` will install a command called `crumb`.
This CLI has been made with `Click <http://click.pocoo.org/>`__,
so try `crumb -h` to see more details.

You can use `Crumb.ls`:

Link one file tree to another file tree with `link`:

    .. code:: bash

        crumb link "/data/hansel/cobre/{sid}/{session}/{img}" "/data/hansel/cobre2/{sid}/{img}"


Return the intersection between crumb1 and crumb2 on a given argument with the `intersect` function:

    .. code:: bash

        crumb intersect --on "sid" "/data/hansel/cobre/{sid}/{session}/{img}" "/data/hansel/cobre2/{sid}/{img}"


Return the difference `crumb1 - crumb2` on a given argument with the `diff` function:

    .. code:: bash

        crumb diff --on "sid" "/data/hansel/cobre/{sid}/{session}/{img}" "/data/hansel/cobre2/{sid}/{img}"

Version 0.9.0 - 0.9.6
---------------------

- "cli diff" and "cli intersect" have the same interface.

- changed how "cli intersect" prints results. Added 'base_crumb' option.

- added to CLI default ignore list for crumbs: `['.*']`.

- add `crumb diff` to CLI.

- add `difference` utility function with test.

- add `test__utils.py` as a WIP.

- move CLI to click.

- Annoying bug fixed.

- Add `crumb_copy`.

- Now it doesn't bother with relative paths.

- Fix `crumb_copy` for existing paths and linking relative paths.

Version 0.8.0 - 0.8.3
---------------------
- Set to True the default value for `check_exists` in `Crumb.ls` function.
  I don't think anybody is interested in non-existing paths.

- Now it is possible to set a non-open item in a Crumb, i.e., I can replace the value for an already set crumb argument.

- Update README.rst

- Code clean-up.

- Replace dict to OrderedDict output in `valuesmap_to_dict` function.

- Add regex option within `arg_name` argument of `ls` and `__get_item__`.


Version 0.7.0 - 0.7.5
---------------------
- Refactoring of how Crumb works, now using string.Formatter.
  This will help with new features due to simpler logic.Now it is not possible to change the syntax of the Crumbs,
  although I guess nobody is interested in that.
- Fixed a few bugs from previous versions.
- Now `copy` function is not a classmethod anymore, so you can do `crumb.copy()` as well as `Crumb.copy(crumb)`.
- `patterns` is not a dictionary anymore, the regexes are embedded in the `_path` string.
  The property `patterns` returns the dictionary as before.  The function `set_pattern` must be used instead to set a different pattern to a given argument.

- Update README.rst
