File Extension Checker

This is a script/utility to help me check if the subdirectories (that has unknown level) contain suitable files.
It scans the directory recursively, get all the file names and check if it has correct extension.

Set up config

It is in JSON format, inside it there are three parts.
base_directory: the root directory path to scan
submission_name_regex: the regex pattern for submission directory name
file_extensions: the file extensions that should exist in the submission
You may also check the template file provided.

Example

Suppose each subdirectory should have one .sql file and one .txt file.
We have a file structure like this in /home/downloaded:

.  
+-- submission_1  
|	+-- text  
|	|	+-- textfile.txt  
|	+-- query.md  
+-- submission_2  
|	+-- textfile.txt  
+-- submission_3  
|	+-- textfile.txt  
|	+-- query.sql  
+-- submission_4  
	+-- textfile.txt  
	+-- query.png

Then the config file should look like this:

{
    "base_directory": "/home/downloaded",
    "submission_name_regex": "submission_[0-9]{1}",
    "file_extensions": [
        {
            "name": ".sql",
            "amount": 1
        },
        {
            "name": ".txt",
            "amount": 1
        }
    ]
}
