# Afterhours File Sorter
**Afterhours File Sorter** is a Rust-based command-line tool that sorts files modified during a time of day for instance "afterhours" (8 PM to 9 AM) to a designated `afterhours/` directory. The tool checks the modification times of files in a directory and relocates files based on the time range.
## Features
- Detects files modified between 8 PM and 9 AM ("afterhours").
- Moves files to a designated `afterhours/` directory.
- Handles both the current directory or a specified directory as input.
- Automatically creates the `afterhours/` directory if it doesn't exist.
## Requirements
- Rust (for building the tool)
- The `chrono` crate for handling dates and times.
## Installation
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/afterhours-mover.git
cd afterhours-mover
```
2. **Build the project using Cargo:**
```bash
cargo build --release
```
## Usage
1. **Move files from the current directory:**
Run the program without arguments to move files from the current directory:
```bash
./target/release/afterhours-mover
```
2. **Move files from a specific directory:**
You can also specify a directory as an argument:
```bash
./target/release/afterhours-mover /path/to/directory
```
3. **Afterhours Directory:**
The files modified between 8 PM and 9 AM will be moved to an `afterhours/` directory created in the current working directory.
## Example
Assume you have a directory with the following files:
```text
file1.txt (modified at 7 PM)
file2.txt (modified at 10 PM)
file3.txt (modified at 8 AM)
```
Running the following command:
```bash
./target/release/afterhours-mover
```
The tool will move `file2.txt` and `file3.txt` to the `afterhours/` directory because they were modified during "afterhours."
## Project Structure
- **`main.rs`**: Contains the core logic that handles detecting afterhours file modifications and moving files to the designated directory.
- **`Cargo.toml`**: Lists the required dependencies for the project, including the `chrono` crate for date and time management.
