There are two tools available for processing files and directories:

• org.hoglet.tools.FileProcessor - will process an input file and write it out to the output file.
• org.hoglet.tools.DirectoryProcessor - will process all the files (limited to a file extension) in a start directory and write those files out to the output directory, it will change the file extension to that nominated.

Each tool also has a main method so that it can be called directly. It should be noted that each processor makes use of a XML configured processor to configure the processor with handlers, tags and delimiters for the parser.

Process an input file containing hoglet markup and write to the output file.




Supports the following arguments:

Argument	Optional	Description
xml config file	No	Is the full path to the config file for the tag, handlers and delimiters that the parser should use for processing.
input file	No	The input file that contains the hoglet markup.
output file	No	The output file.
overwrite	Yes	Should be either: true or false. If true then the processor will overwrite the output file if it already exists. If false and the output file already exists then the output file is not overwritten and an error is returned.

This assumes that you are running hoglet from the install directory using the default tag handlers config file.

Process files in an input directory containing hoglet markup and write to the output directory. The files to be processed are limited by a file extension, output files are given the same name as the input file but assigned the specified file extension.

If required the processor will recurse down the directory tree, processing each directory.




Supports the following arguments:

Argument	Optional	Description
xml config file	No	Is the full path to the config file for the tag, handlers and delimiters that the parser should use for processing.
input directory	No	The input directory to process.
input file extension	No	Limit the files to process to those with this file extension.
output directory	No	The output directory to process.
output file extension	No	Give the processed file this file extension. The original file extension is stripped, i.e. index.txt would become index.html.
overwrite	Yes	Should be either: true or false. If true then the processor will overwrite the output file if it already exists. If false and the output file already exists then the output file is not overwritten and an error is returned.
recurse directories	Yes	Should be either: true or false. If true then the processor will recurse down the directory tree (starting at the input directory of course) and process each directory. If false then only the input directory will be processed.

This assumes that you are running hoglet from the install directory using the default tag handlers config file.
