FileContentExtractor is a Python tool designed to recursively extract and save the contents of text files in a directory. It provides options to ignore specific files or directories, filter files based on various criteria, and output file paths as either absolute or relative paths.

Features

• Recursively traverses directories and extracts the content of text files.
• Allows you to ignore specific files, directories, or patterns using a .ignorelist file.
• Outputs file paths as either relative or absolute paths.
• Supports filtering files by extension, size, and modification date.
• Allows splitting output into multiple files based on size.
• Displays a progress bar during extraction.

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install file-content-extractor

Usage

1. Basic command:

   • Default usage (relative paths):

     file_extractor

   • Save output to a custom file:
