The Directory Content Scanner is a Python-based utility designed to recursively scan directories, presenting both file paths and their content. It's an invaluable tool for in-depth content exploration and debugging within nested file structures.
-`paths`: List of files or directories to scan. This is a positional argument.
-`--file-types`: Filter by file types (e.g., `.txt`, `.log`). Only files with these extensions will be processed.
-`--ignore-file-strings`: Ignore files and folders containing these strings. Useful for excluding specific files or directories.
-`--ignore-hidden`: Ignore hidden directories and files (those starting with a dot).
-`-v`, `--verbose`: Enable verbose mode. This will print additional information about skipped files.
-`--no-comments`: Remove comments from the displayed content based on file type. Comments in supported file types (Python, JS, C, CPP, H) will be stripped.
-`--compress`: Compress code (for supported file types). The content will be displayed in compressed form.
-`--path-contains`: Display files whose paths contain one of these strings. Useful for narrowing down the scan to specific parts of the directory structure.
-`--content-contains`: Display files containing one of these strings in their content. The file's content will be checked, and only matching files will be shown.
Exercise caution when scanning directories with large files. The script may produce extensive output. Always assess the data volume before executing the script.
