<!-- About the Project -->
## 1. About the Project

A base project to simplify file manipulation

<!-- Features -->
### 1.1. Features

- Can sanitize filename based on windows limitaions
- Can search for and return files with specified filenames

<!-- Getting Started -->
## 2. Getting Started

### 2.1. Dependencies

The repo comes pre-compiled with all dependencies. Needs Python 3.11+

<!-- Installation -->
### 2.2. Installation

Install from pypi

```bash
pip install ak_file
```

<!-- Usage -->
## 3. Usage

```python
import ak_file import File
file = File("<path/to/file>")

file.exists() # Returns bool
file.properties() # Returns dict

file.encrypt(password = 'Some Fancy Password') # Returns bytes data
file._DEFAULT_SALT = b'SuperSecureSaltForEncryption' # Change default encryption salt
file.decrypt(password = 'Some Fancy Password') # Returns bytes data

# To sanitize filename
from ak_file import sanitizer
sanitizer.sanitize("Dirty_windows_file_name.ext", strict=False)

# Obfuscate/Unobfuscate filename with simple char shift
sanitizer.obfuscate('Filename to obfuscate') # Returns 'WzCvErDvqKFqFswLJtrKv'
sanitizer.unobfuscate('WzCvErDvqKFqFswLJtrKv') # Returns 'Filename to obfuscate'

# Search
from ak_file import SearchFolder
search = SearchFolder(folder_path="Folder\path", recurse=True)

search.extension(extension_str='py') # by extension
search.size(min_size=1024, max_size=2048) # Bytes; by size
search.regex(pattern=r'[A-Z]{3}\.py', case_sensitive=False) # By regex
search.modification_date(start_date=datetime(2023,01,01), end_date=datetime(2023,10,10))

## search by generic function
search.search(condition=lambda file: 'Alpha' in file.parent)
```
