Text Manipulator

Introduction

Welcome to the Text Manipulator project! This command-line Python application is designed to empower users with the ability to manipulate and analyze text strings according to their preferences. By offering a menu of options, users can modify inputted text in various ways, such as counting characters and words, fixing capitalization, and removing excessive spaces. This project highlights my proficiency in developing interactive command-line tools that offer users practical and flexible text manipulation functionalities.

Features

Count Non-Whitespace Characters: Calculate and display the number of characters in the inputted string excluding whitespaces.
Count Words: Calculate and display the number of words in the inputted string.
Fix Capitalization: Capitalize the first letter of each sentence in the inputted string and provide the corrected text.
Shorten Spaces: Remove extra spaces between words in the inputted string and display the cleaned text.
Quit: Exit the program gracefully.

Usage

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/Text-Manipulator.git

Navigate to the repository directory:

cd Text-Manipulator

Run the program:

python Text-Manipulator.py

Enter a sample text when prompted. Choose an option from the menu by typing the corresponding letter and press Enter. Depending on the chosen option, the program will display the relevant output or perform the specified manipulation on the inputted text.
