Project Overview
The client sought an uncomplicated Windows application capable of reading a plain text file, then extracting and writing specific lines into a new document based on a provided delimiter. This utility was to be built with urgency, encompassing several user-friendly features and controls.
Project Highlights
Objective
Develop a lightweight and responsive Windows application that can quickly process large text files and extract relevant information based on specified delimiters.
Key Features
- Config File Flexibility: Application accompanied by a config file, enabling users to:
- Set a default directory for searching files.
- Specify the delimiter for extraction purposes.
- User-friendly Interface: Integrated with a basic Windows Explorer to facilitate seamless file browsing.
- Real-time Progress Indicators: Embedded a dynamic progress display showing the ongoing status of file reading and subsequent file generation.
- Delimiter Management: Post consecutive delimiters, the application auto-inserts a space for clarity and formatting.
- Printing Capability: Introduced a print feature, allowing users to generate a hard copy of the extracted information. This feature includes a printer selection option. Notably, the generated file would not be stored, ensuring data privacy and system storage optimization.
