Python based File Scanner

The main goal is to develop a file parser that will be configurable when it comes to different filetypes. Once could add a new file class and configure a number of regular expressions. The main idea was to create a configurable file parser that could scan source folders and provides a versatile statistics for a certain amount of file classes. The usual question was:

• How much source code does this project contain?
• How much scripting code does the project contain?

How to use it

• In order to scan several folders for files simply do the following:
  • Configure a number of file classes
  • Add the folders
  • Print results

	self.analysis.extAdd('source', ['.c', '.C', '.cc', '.h', '.CC', '.py'])
   self.analysis.extAdd('make', ['.in', '.am', '.mk'])
   self.analysis.extAdd('script', ['.sh'])
   self.analysis.extAdd('doc', ['.pdf', '.txt', '.doc'])
   self.analysis.extAdd('container', ['.tar.gz', '.zip'])

   self.folder = FileWalker(name='Broadcom SDK', pathToFolder='/pathToFolder')

   self.analysis.folderAdd(self.folder)

   print self.analysis

Classes

FileClass

• simply stores the files which belong to a certain file class
• internal data:
• name (string)
• files (list)
• statistics (FileStatistics)

FileWalker

• Holds all the files for a folder
• Always initiated using a existing folder (relative or absolute)

Session

• Stores the results for a folder that in turn could contain several file classes
• provides functions like:
  • adding FileWalker objects for a folder
  • initiated with its own FileClass objects

FileStatistics

• Object stores the following informatione
  • maxSize - biggest file attached
  • avgSize - average size of all attached files
  • minSize - smallest file
  • sumSize - total amount of bytes stored in files
  • numFiles - number of files found in that folder
