Session Goal

The goal of this session was to develop Python scripts to handle and analyze text files, focusing on reading, summarizing, and finding patterns in file content.

Key Activities

  • File Reading and Output: Implemented a script to read Python plugin files and output the first 1200 characters.
  • Text Analysis: Created a script to count lines and characters in text files.
  • Pattern Finding: Developed a function using regular expressions to find patterns in text files and display the top 80 lines.
  • File Content Overview: Scripted a method to read and display the last 80 lines of text files for quick content overview.
  • Code Summarization: Analyzed Python files for structural elements such as imports, class definitions, and functions.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed multiple scripts for file handling and analysis, enhancing the ability to process and extract information from text files.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refinement of regular expression patterns for more complex text analysis.
  • Integration of these scripts into a larger system for automated file processing.
