🔠✨ Basic Encoding and Decoding ✨🔠

Welcome to the Basic Encoding and Decoding project! 🌐 This script demonstrates how to encode and decode text in Python using custom input encoding and error-handling methods.

---

📚 About the Project

This project focuses on:

• Reading a text file line by line.
• Encoding text into a specified byte format.
• Decoding text back into a human-readable string.
• Understanding error-handling during encoding/decoding.

It’s a beginner-friendly exploration of Python’s encoding and decoding capabilities using the sys module.

🚀 How It Works

1. Input Parameters:
   The script takes three command-line arguments:

   • input_encoding: The desired text encoding (e.g., utf-8, ascii).
   • error: The error handling strategy (strict, ignore, replace).

2. Text File:
   Reads from textfile.text (default file in UTF-8 encoding).

3. Process:

   • Encodes each line of text into the specified byte format.
   • Decodes it back into the string format for validation.
   • Displays both the byte string and decoded string.

🛠️ How to Use

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/sgindeed/basicEncodingDecoding.git  
cd basicEncodingDecoding  

2️⃣ Create Your Input File

Create a file named textfile.text with the text you want to process.

3️⃣ Run the Script

Use the following command:

python script.py <input_encoding> <error_handling>  

Example:

python script.py utf-8 strict
