| 20 | +## 🚀 Running the Example |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +### Basic Usage |
| 23 | +```bash |
| 24 | +# Process sample file with default action (count) |
| 25 | +php app.php process-file --file=sample.txt |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +# Show help |
| 28 | +php app.php help --command=process-file |
| 29 | +``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### File Statistics (Count Action) |
| 32 | +```bash |
| 33 | +# Count lines, words, and characters |
| 34 | +php app.php process-file --file=sample.txt --action=count |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +# Default action is count (can be omitted) |
| 37 | +php app.php process-file --file=sample.txt |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Text Transformation |
| 41 | +```bash |
| 42 | +# Convert to uppercase |
| 43 | +php app.php process-file --file=sample.txt --action=uppercase |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +# Reverse line order |
| 46 | +php app.php process-file --file=sample.txt --action=reverse |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +## 📋 Available Options |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +### Actions (`--action`) |
| 52 | +- `count` - Display file statistics (lines, words, characters) - **Default** |
| 53 | +- `uppercase` - Convert all text to uppercase |
| 54 | +- `reverse` - Reverse the order of lines in the file |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### Parameters |
| 57 | +- `--file` - Path to the file to process (**Required**) |
| 58 | +- `--action` - Action to perform (optional, defaults to `count`) |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### Validation Rules |
| 61 | +- File path is required |
| 62 | +- File must exist and be readable |
| 63 | +- Action must be one of: count, uppercase, reverse |
| 64 | +- Invalid actions show available options |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +## 🎨 Example Output |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +### File Statistics (Count Action) |
| 69 | +```bash |

| 94 | +``` |
| 95 | +``` |
| 96 | +Reversed content: |
| 97 | +
|
| 98 | +With multiple lines |
| 99 | +For testing file processing |
| 100 | +This is a sample file |
| 101 | +Hello World |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
