folder-structure-creator 0.4.0

A tool to create folder structures based on text files

Folder Structure Creator

This Python script reads a text file containing a folder structure and creates the corresponding folders on your file system.

How It Works

1. Reading the Folder Structure: The script reads a text file where each line represents a folder. Indentation indicates the hierarchy.
2. Creating Folders: It processes the file to determine the folder structure and creates the folders accordingly.
3. Identifying the Executable's Directory: The script identifies the directory where it is located, whether it’s frozen (compiled as an executable) or not.
4. Locating .txt Files: It searches for .txt files in the directory.
5. Choosing a File: If multiple .txt files are found, it prompts the user to choose one. If there’s only one, it uses that file directly.
6. Creating Folder Structure: The script creates the folder structure based on the text file.

Installation

1. Ensure you have Python 3.x installed on your system. You can download it from the official Python website.
2. Install the folder_structure_creator package using pip:

pip install folder_structure_creator

3. Ensure there is a .txt file with the folder structure in the same directory as the executable.

Usage

1. Place a text file of the folder structure in the executable's directory.
2. Run the script.

python fstruct.py

3. Follow the prompts if multiple .txt files are found.

Your .txt file should look like this

ParentFolder
 ChildFolder1
  SubChildFolder1
 ChildFolder2

Requirements

• Python 3.x

Notes

• The script can handle both spaces and tabs for indentation.
• Ensure the .txt file with the folder structure is correctly formatted.
