# File Processor

A Rust-based file processor that recursively processes directories, applies syntax highlighting to files, and provides structured error handling using `anyhow` and `thiserror`.

## Features

- Recursively processes directories and files.

- Syntax highlighting using `syntect`.

- Custom error handling with `thiserror`.

- Configurable options like depth, file extensions, and exclusion lists.

- Colored output for better visibility.

## Usage

Run the program with the desired directory:

```sh

cargo run --  [options]

```

### Options:

- `` (**optional**, default: `.`): The file or directory to process.

- `--depth `: Depth level for recursive search.

- `--ext `: Filter files by extension.

- `--no-color`: Disable colored output.

- `--list`: List files instead of printing content.

- `--json`: Prints the listings in json format

## Example

```sh

cargo run -- ./src --ext rs --list

```

Lists all `.rs` files in the `src` directory.

## Dependencies

- `anyhow`: Simplified error handling.

- `thiserror`: Custom error types.

- `clap`: Command-line argument parsing.

- `colored`: Colorful terminal output.

- `log` and `simple_logger`: Logging.

- `syntect`: Syntax highlighting.
