File Management Package

file-management-package is a Python package designed to simplify file management tasks. It provides a convenient set of tools to create, read, write, delete, and manage files in a system, while handling common errors and ensuring robust functionality.

Features

• File Writing: Write to a file, either appending or writing a single line.
• File Reading: Read a file either line by line or as a whole.
• File Existence Check: Check if a file exists.
• File Creation: Automatically create a file if it doesn't exist.
• File Deletion: Delete a file from the system.
• File Content Modification: Remove specific content from a file.
• File Opening: Open files using the default application for the file type.

Installation

To install the package, use the following command:

pip install file-management-package

Or put in your requirements.txt

file-management-package==0.6.2

Usage

Importing the Package

To use the FileManagement class, import it into your project as follows:

from file_management_package.file_management import FileManagement

Example Usage

1. Writing to a File:

fm = FileManagement()
fm.write_to_file("Hello, world!", "example.txt")

This will write "Hello, world!" to the file example.txt, creating the file if it does not exist.

2. Reading a File Line by Line:

lines = fm.read_file_per_line("example.txt")
print(lines)

This will read the contents of example.txt and return a list of lines.

3. Check if a File Exists:

file_exists = fm.check_if_file_exists("example.txt")
print(file_exists)  # Output: True or False

4. Create a New File:

fm.create_file("new_file.txt")

5. Delete a File:

fm.delete_file("example.txt")

6. Remove Specific Content from a File:

fm.delete_from_file("example.txt", "Hello")

This will remove all lines in example.txt that contain the word "Hello".

7. Open a File:

fm.open_file("example.txt", is_sdk=False)

This will open example.txt with the default file handler (e.g., Notepad, TextEdit, etc.).

Error Handling

The FileManagement class includes robust error handling for:

• FileNotFoundError: If the file is not found.
• PermissionError: If there are permission issues.
• IOError: General I/O issues with the file system.
• General exceptions are caught and handled gracefully.
