Show content

To list all the files and folders in a directory, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   For example:

   1. To search in a particular directory

   cargo run show <directory_name>

   2. To search in the current directory

   cargo run show .

Create a file

To create a file in the main directory, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   cargo run create -a <filename>

Create a directory

To create a directory in the main directory, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   cargo run newdir -a <directory name>

Appending in a file

To append a file in the main directory, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   cargo run write -a <filename>

Search Operation

To search for a word or expression in a file, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   cargo run search <word_to_search> <filename> <is_case_sensitive>

   Replace <word_to_search> with the word or expression you want to search for, <filename> with the name of the file to search in, and <is_case_sensitive> with true if you want the search to be case-sensitive, or false otherwise.

   For example:

   • This command searches for the word "Rust" in the file "example.txt" with case sensitivity enabled.

     cargo run search Rust example.txt true

   • This command searches for the word "Rust" in the file "example.txt" with case sensitivity disabled.

     cargo run search Rust example.txt false

Replace Operation

To replace a word or expression in a file, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   cargo run replace <word_to_replace> <new_word> <filename> <is_case_sensitive>

   Replace <word_to_replace> with the word or expression you want to replace, <new_word> with the word or expression you want to replace it with, <filename> with the name of the file to perform the replacement in, and <is_case_sensitive> with true if you want the replacement to be case-sensitive, or false otherwise.

   For example:

   • This command replaces the word "old" with "new" in the file "example.txt" with case sensitivity enabled.

     cargo run replace old example.txt true

   • This command replaces the word "old" with "new" in the file "example.txt" with case sensitivity disabled.

     cargo run replace old example.txt false

This addition will provide clear instructions on how to use the replace function in your Rust FileOps tool.

Delete a file

To delete a file, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.

2. Navigate to the directory where the project is located.

3. Run the following command:

   cargo run delete -d <filename>
