Description

bin/file-utils merge filename1.ext filename2.ext ...
This command should take a variable argument list containing filenames separated by spaces.

This should first check if all the files are legitimate and then it should merge them all in order into a single file.

For now, this should output the merged file to STDOUT, however, in a later iteration we would need to add a flag or argument that allows us to specify an output file.

Additional Information

(If you have any ideas about how to add an output file arg in a neat manner, feel free to ask).

Currently, file-utils uses basic top-down procedural logic-building. Should we move away from that and obtain a more object-oriented design, where we create objects like File with their set of attributes like length, size along with set of public / private methods to read and alter the content?

file-utils delete filename.ext

This command should delete the file passed, and output some data about the space freed, etc.
Before deleting, this should check if the user has permissions to delete the file, and it should also error out if someone passes in the name of a directory.

Tests for the following commands are needed:

• write
• copy

Description

Set up the project in your local environment, following the instructions given in the README file. Run the bin/file-utils help command and check if the output looks like this -

If there are any discrepancies, feel free to open an issue under bug report.

Additional Information

It would be great if we can test and confirm if this renders properly in the following environments:

• MacOS
• Windows 11
• Windows 7
• Windows XP
• Ubuntu

bin/file-utils move filename1.ext filename2.ext
On running this command, the contents of filename1.ext should be read and copied to filename2.ext. After that, filename1.ext should be deleted.

Feature Request

Describe the solution you'd like

Check the information given about the merge command in https://github.com/Vyvy-vi/file-utils/blob/main/src/helpText.hpp and try to create a class for the command in src/commands. You could look at src/commands/read.hpp and src/commands/read.cpp for how to create the class.

Additional context

bin/file-utils diff filename1.txt filename2.txt
This command should generate a diff using the two filenames provided, and output it to STDOUT. In a later iteration, we could add an option or a flag for an output filename.

Check the information given about the version command in https://github.com/Vyvy-vi/file-utils/blob/main/src/helpText.hpp and try to create a class for the command in src/commands. You could look at src/commands/read.hpp and src/commands/read.cpp for how to create the class.

Additional context

GO through the setup process given in the README.md file, and give feedback about what changes need to be made to the documentation

Incorrect Documentation

Describe the error

The current version assumes that the user already has make installed

Expected information

The README.md file should also specify how to download make.

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

Code was modified to include individual commands as subclasses of the Command class.

Open main.cpp and implement the parsing logic used by the if-else statements to map the Args object to a given command based on the value in the first arg. It's alright if the -h flag breaks.
