Text Data Analyzer 📊

A command-line C# application that analyzes text and CSV files in a directory, providing detailed statistics about file content.

Features

Text File Analysis (.txt)

• Word count
• Character count
• Line count

CSV File Analysis (.csv)

• Field/column count

Additional Capabilities

• Batch Processing: Analyzes all supported files in a specified directory
• Extensible Architecture: Easy to add support for new file types

Architecture

The project follows Object-Oriented Programming principles:

• Interface-based design (IFileAnalysis)
• Inheritance with abstract FileAnalyzer base class
• Extension methods for clean file type checking
• Separation of concerns with dedicated analyzer classes for each file type

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• .NET 6.0 or higher
• C# compiler

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Text-Data-Analyzer.git
cd Text-Data-Analyzer

2. Build the project:

dotnet build

3. Run the application:

dotnet run

Usage

1. Run the application
2. Enter the full path to the folder you want to analyze
3. The application will process all .txt and .csv files and display results

Example Output

Welcome To Text File Analyzer :)
Please Enter The Entire Folder Path To Analyze
C:\MyDocuments

------------------------
File Name : sample.txt

Number Of Words : 150
Number Of Lines : 25
Number Of Characters : 850

------------------------
File Name : data.csv
------------------------
Number Of Fields : 5

Technical Details

Design Patterns Used

• Strategy Pattern: Different analyzers implement the same interface
• Extension Methods: Clean syntax for file type checking

Key Classes

Class	Description
IFileAnalysis	Interface defining the contract for file analyzers
FileAnalyzer	Base class containing common functionality
AnalysisResults	Struct holding analysis results
TxtFileAnalyzer	Implements text file analysis
CsvFileAnalyzer	Implements CSV file analysis

Future Enhancements

• Support for additional file formats (JSON, XML, etc.)
• More detailed CSV analysis (row count, data types)
• Export results to file
• GUI interface
• Unit tests
• Performance optimization for large files
