Python File Manipulation CLI Tool

This Python Command Line Interface (CLI) tool provides functionalities for file manipulation and directory navigation, similar to Unix-like command-line tools. It includes a variety of commands for handling files and directories and logs each command's usage for easy tracking and debugging.

Features

• List directory contents (ls)
• Change the current working directory (cd)
• Create a new directory (mkdir)
• Remove an empty directory (rmdir)
• Remove a file (rm)
• Copy files or directories (cp)
• Move/rename files or directories (mv)
• Search for files or directories (find)
• Display the contents of a file (cat)
• Advanced logging of command usage

Setup

1. Ensure you have Python 3.8 or higher installed on your system.
2. Download the file_cli.py script to your local machine.

Usage

Run the script from the command line, followed by the command and its arguments. Here are some examples:

python file_cli.py ls [path]
python file_cli.py cd [path]
python file_cli.py mkdir [path]
python file_cli.py rmdir [path]
python file_cli.py rm [file]
python file_cli.py cp [source] [destination]
python file_cli.py mv [source] [destination]
python file_cli.py find [path] [pattern]
python file_cli.py cat [file]

Replace [path], [file], [source], [destination], and [pattern] with your specific inputs.

Logs

The tool logs each command's execution, including the time, command, arguments, outcome, and any errors. Logs are stored in a file named commands.log in the same directory as the script.
