File Indexer - CLI tool

A CLI tool that indexes a given folder and allows efficient searching for string occurrences.

Date of creation: May, 2024
I changed the code after the deadline for the JetBrains internship application. If you only find the code that was submitted before the deadline relevant, here is that version of the code Original Code

Instructions

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/AStroCvijo/Indexer_2
2. Set up allowedExtensions.txt file in the root directory e.g.

  txt
  kt
  py

3. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA
4. Run the project in IntelliJ IDEA (this will run the app without command line arguments)
5. Copy the command that IntelliJ IDEA used to run the app (you can find it in the bottom window), should look like this C:........MainKT
6. Open the terminal and navigate to the repository
7. Paste the command you coppied (C:........MainKT)
8. Add command line arguments and run the app

Arguments guide

-path or -p followed by path to the folder you want to index e.g. .\\Data This will index the .\\Data folder and save it to .\\indexedFolders (the starting location of .\\ is inside the app folder, so either move to folder you want to index there or navigate to it)

-force or -f This will force the app to index the folder again and save it to .\\indexedFolders (if you don't force a re-index, and the folder has already been indexed, the app will just load it)

-query or -q This will indicate that you want to query the folder after indexing

-case or -c This will indicate that you want the search to be case-sensitive

-highlight or -h This will print the line in which the string is located and highlight it
