FileIOPlus - Enhanced File I/O Library for Java

FileIOPlus is a Java library designed to simplify file input/output operations. It provides convenient methods and mechanism for setting, storing and retrieving key-value pairs within a text file.

Features

• Create, read, and modify files.
• Store and retrieve key-value pairs within a text file.
• Easily set and get integer and boolean values for specific keys.
• Add or subtract integers from existing values.
• Option to enable console output for debugging and informational purposes.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To use FileIOPlus, you need:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed on your system.
• A Java project where you can include the FileIOPlus package.

Installation

• Download the FileIOPlus package.
• Add the FileIOPlus package to your Java project.

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use FileIOPlus in your Java project:

import plusfile.PlusFile;

public class FileIOExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create a new PlusFile instance
        PlusFile file = new PlusFile("data/mydata.txt", true);

        // Get the value associated with a key
        String value = file.getValue("myKey");
        System.out.println("Value for 'myKey': " + value);

        // Set a new value for a key
        file.setValue("newKey", "Hello, FileIOPlus!");

        // Get and print the updated value
        value = file.getValue("newKey");
        System.out.println("Value for 'newKey': " + value);
    }
}

Output:

New File: /home/markus/Documents/Projects/Java/FileManager_Test/data/mydata.txt
Creating File: /home/markus/Documents/Projects/Java/FileManager_Test/data/mydata.txt
Value for 'myKey': null
Value for 'newKey': Hello, FileIOPlus!

This creates the following file

newKey=Hello, FileIOPlus!

In this example, we create a PlusFile instance, retrieve and set values associated with keys, and enable console output for debugging.
