File Analyzer

A C# Console Application designed to scan text files in a directory for specific patterns (such as email addresses) using Regular Expressions (Regex). The application saves the found patterns into a structured JSON file.

This project demonstrates practical usage of:

• File I/O: Reading and writing files.
• Regular Expressions (Regex): Pattern matching.
• Serialization: Converting objects to JSON using System.Text.Json.

Features

• Recursive Scanning: Searches through a specified directory and all subdirectories.
• Configurable: Uses settings.json to define the target folder and search patterns.
• JSON Output: Saves results in a clean, readable JSON format.
• Error Handling: Robust error handling for file access and parsing issues.

Prerequisites

• .NET 8.0 SDK or higher.
• A code editor like Visual Studio 2022, Rider, or VS Code.
