README
Set Operations on File Directories.
Use some basic Set Operations to analyse and compare the file names in 2 or more given directories.
# Background
Several times over the past couple of years I've had to work out the difference between 2 folders in terms of files.
Each time it's manually looking > unix utilities > ad-hoc scripts.
This little tool should permanently solve this problem.
# Install
```
pip3 install file-dir-set-ops --upgrade
```
# Usage
## Data
## Union
(In **A** OR **B** OR **C**)
```
file-dir-set-ops --operation union --dir-paths tests/data/a tests/data/b tests/data/c
a.txt
b.txt
c.txt
file.txt
```
## Intersection
(In **A** AND **B** AND **C**)
```
file-dir-set-ops --operation intersection --dir-paths tests/data/a tests/data/b tests/data/c
file.txt
```
## Relative Complement (Set Difference)
(In **A** AND Not in **B** OR **C**)
```
file-dir-set-ops --operation complement --dir-paths tests/data/a tests/data/b tests/data/c
a.txt
```
