A Python package for managing files

Project description

This package provides tools for file management, including insertion, deletion, replacement, commenting, uncommenting, and finding in files.

To use this package, you must first install it using pip:

```bash
pip install file_manipulation
```

After installation, you can import the package in your Python scripts and use its functions to manipulate files.

## Usage

```python
from file_manipulation.read_file  import readFile
from file_manipulation.find_in_file  import find_word_in_file
from file_manipulation.insert  import insert_lines
from file_manipulation.replace  import replace_lines_in_range
from file_manipulation.delete  import delete_lines
from file_manipulation.comment  import comment_lines
from file_manipulation.uncomment  import uncomment_lines

# to read file  --> return False and error_message if file dosn't exist 
    readFile(file_path)
    ==> True, the content of file
    
    [USAGE]:
        exist,result = find_word_in_file("example.txt", "test")
        if exist:
            result = "this a file to test"
        else:
            err_msg = "example.txt" dosn't exist 
            
# to find a line content word --> return False and error_message if file or word dosn't exist 
    find_word_in_file(file_path, target_word)
    ==> True, dict content num of line and the line 
    
    [USAGE]:
        exist,result = find_word_in_file("example.txt", "test")
        if exist:
            result = {"line 12: this is a test"}
        else:
            err_msg = "example.txt" or "test" dosn't exist 
            
# to insert block of str like insert_string --> return False and error_message if action, *args dosn't match
    insert_lines(file_path, action, *args, insert_string)
     ==> True, success_message
     
     [USAGE]:

        insert_lines("example.com",'insert_before',6,insert_string="test insert")
        
       * insert "test insert" after line 10
        insert_lines("example.com",'insert_after',10,insert_string="test insert")
        
     [EXAMPLE]:
        insert_string = "test insert"  
        # 6 is the line where we insert after it 
        result,msg = insert_lines("example.txt",'insert_after',6,insert_string=insert_string)

# to replace block of str like replace_string --> return False and error_message if action, *args dosn't match or invalid range.
    replace_lines(file_path, action, *args, replacement_string)
     ==> True, success_message
     
     [USAGE]:
