That's excellent! Since your mini-project is a Python CLI utility for File and Exception Handling using the pathlib and os modules, I'll generate a tailored README file for it.

This README focuses on the purpose of the project, how to run it, and highlights the core concepts it demonstrates.

📂 File Operations CLI Utility

💡 About The Project

This project is a Mini-Project demonstrating fundamental Python concepts in File Handling and Exception Management. It provides a simple Command Line Interface (CLI) that allows a user to perform basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on files within the current directory.

The primary goals of this utility are to illustrate:

• File Handling: Using Python's built-in open() function with various modes ('w', 'r', 'a').
• Path Management: Leveraging the modern pathlib.Path module for robust file system interactions (checking existence, renaming, and reading file information).
• Exception Handling: Implementing try...except blocks to gracefully manage common errors like FileNotFoundError, PermissionError, and invalid user input (ValueError).

Built With

• Python 3.x
• pathlib (Standard Library)
• os (Standard Library)

🛠️ Getting Started

Follow these steps to get a copy of the project running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

You only need Python 3.8 or newer installed on your system.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gitdhruv-tech/CRUD-on-File.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd CRUD-on-File

3. Ensure the main script is present: The file containing the code (e.g., main.py or similar) should be in this directory.

---

🏃 Usage

Run the script directly from your terminal. The application will start and present the main menu.

python main.py

Main Menu Operations

The utility provides the following functions:

Menu Option	Function	Demonstrates
1	Create a file	Using open(..., 'w') and path existence checks.
2	Read a file	Using open(..., 'r') and handling FileNotFoundError.
3	Update a file	File renaming (.rename()), content overwriting ('w'), and appending ('a').
4	Delete a file	Using Path.unlink() or os.remove() to delete a file.
5	Exit	Terminates the program loop.

Note: All file operations are performed relative to the directory where you execute the script.
