There's a lot to explore, but the syntax of each command is relatively straightforward. Perhaps most surprising of all, though, Swiss File Knife isn't too difficult to learn. There's also plenty of scripting support, with tools to get user input, run sequences of Swiss File Knife commands, run commands on every file in a folder, run commands in a loop, and more. And it's enormously flexible, with more than 35 switches, which can themselves be combined in many different ways, and have their output passed on to other Swiss File Knife commands. The List command doesn't just list files in a directory tree, for example: it also supports a host of archive formats. Most of these commands deliver far more than you'd expect. The program also includes commands to synchronise a folder tree, find duplicate files, cut video and binary files, create MD5 hashes, send UDP or HTTP requests, download HTTP files, even run instant FTP and HTTP servers.
This would be useful in itself, but Swiss File Knife does a whole lot more. And you get a lengthy list of text and file processing options: LF CRLF, tab space, hex binary, hex dec, insert string, replace string, sort string, split file, join file, more. It's able to list the contents of directories, create or delete directory trees. The program can search for files by content, or name. Swiss File Knife is a supercharged command line tool which crams around 100 functions into a single executable.
