abero 1.0.3

Analyze multiple files for similarity and/or uniqueness.

runner

Analyze multiple files for similarity and/or uniqueness. Finding similarities of works duplicated from one or more part of different works to create a seemingly unique one can be difficult because of different strategies being used, but this can be done better with a software like runner.

Requirements

• Arkivist pip install arkivist

Usage

Install the latest abero package, upcoming versions might introduce unannounced changes, so a virtual environment is a must have before installation.

pip install -U abero

To integrate abero into your Python codes, check the code snippet below:

import abero

abero.analyze(directory, extension="txt", threshold=80, template=None, skipnames=0, group=0, unzip=0, reset=0)

CLI Usage

# usage: runner [-h] -d directory [-e extension] [-c control] [-t threshold] [-u unzip] [-s skipnames] [-g group] [-r reset]

py runner.py -d "<path_to_files>" -e "txt" -c "<path_to_control_file>" -t 1 -u 1 -s 1 -r 1

1. -d <path> - Full path of the dirctory containing the files to analyze.
2. -e <txt> - List of allowed file extensions to analyze.
3. -c <*.txt> - Full path of the control file.
4. -t <*.csv> - Tolerance level for uniqueness (1-100; default = 0)
5. -u <0> - Unzip/extract ZIP files (0-1; default = 0)
6. -s <0> - Skip files with common names (0-1; default = 0)
7. -g <1> - Only compare if files contains the same identifier (0-1; default = 1)   Example: student1_set1.py >> student2_set1.py
8. -r <0> - Reset analytics before execution (0-1; default = 0)

Control File

Control file contains words or phrases, checked line-by-line, that are deem allowed to be contained in all files to analyzed; therefore, if found on the test files, it will not be flagged as duplicate work.

Features

• Unzip feature
• File comparison
• Threshold levels
• Skip / group compare
• Diff tool, content viewer
