sharpshooter 0.0.1

Shorthand for creating files and folders.

#tree (sharpshooter)

#WARNING - probs don't use this until about 0.0.5... just setting up and adding poc

Shorthand templates for creating (or destroying) file-systems.

tree could be written for any language.

pip install sharpshooter

##syntax

To create a plain empty file just type a word i.e.

file

to create or access a dir use +

+dir

To create a file inside a dir use a 4 spaces (or tab)

+dir
    file

putting it all together…

+dir
    file
    +plugins
    +mail
        +vendor
	    index.html
            +something
		file.py
		file.py

##usage

from sharpshooter import tree

tree('''
+dir
    file < some text
    +plugins
        +mail
            +vendor
	       index.html
               +something
		  file.py
		  file.py
''')

tree doesn't wait to be told. Your files are now there.

for future feature goals see TODO.md

NOTES:

came up with the idea while mucking around with a lexer.

so am using this to do it.

• remember it executes from where your python thinks is the current dir
• if you're unsure set it first. i.e.

import os os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file)))

WARNING

DON'T leave trailing negative space on lines. I use space to change dirs.

uses 4 spaces not tabs. (I've not tested with tabs as my editor converts them to 4 spaces). will sort later.

this is a work in progress. it creates files on your hard drive. so be careful.

if using a comment. don't leave space before the #
