## About
This program will proccess pdf, txt, docx, and txt files that can be found in the given input directory, find similar sentences, calculate similarity percentage, display a similarity table with links to side by side comparison where similar sentences are highlighted.

This project was made part of my internship at the "Human Computer Humans Interacting with Computers at University of Primorska" lab (HICUP Lab).
This program will process pdf, txt, docx, and txt files that can be found in the given input directory, find similar sentences, calculate similarity percentage, display a similarity table with links to side by side comparison where similar sentences are highlighted.

**Usage**
---

```bash
$ pip install copy-spotter
$ copy-spotter [-s] [-o] [-h] input_directory
```
Usage: python -m scripts.main.py input_directory [OPTIONS]
***Positional Arguments:***
* `input_directory`: Directory that contains one folder per pdf file (see `data/pdf/plagiarism` for example)

***Optional Arguments:***
* `-s`, `--block-size`: Set minimum number of consecutive and similar words detected. (Default is 2)
* `-o`, `--out_dir`: Set the output directory for html files. (Default is creating a new directory called results)
* `-h`, `--help`: Show this message and exit.

Performs a similarity analysis of all text files available in given input directory.
Developed by Clément Delteil -> (Github: Wazzabeee)
**Examples**
---
```bash
# Analyze documents in 'data/pdf/plagiarism', with default settings
$ copy-spotter data/pdf/plagiarism

Options:
-block_size, -s Set minimum number of consecutive and similar words detected. (Default is 2)
-out_dir, -o Set the output directory for html files. (Default is creating a new directory)
-help, -h Show this message and exit.
# Analyze with custom block size and specify output directory
$ copy-spotter data/pdf/plagiarism -s 5 -o results/output
```

# Install requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r requirements_lint.txt

# Run the app
$ python -m scripts.main.py data/pdf/plagiarism -s 2
```
**First run**
---
On the first run you might get :
- an ImportError from pdfminer library
```
ImportError: cannot import name 'uint_value' from 'pdfminer.pdftypes' (C:/.../pdfminer/pdftypes.py)
```
To fix this, please uninstall pdfminer3k and pdfminer.six via
``` pip uninstall pdfminer3k ```
``` pip uninstall pdfminer.six ```
Then install them again via
``` pip install pdfminer3k ```
``` pip install pdfminer.six ```
# Install precommit
$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install

# Run tests
$ pip install pytest
$ pytest tests/

- a TypeError from Slate3k library
```
TypeError __init__() missing 1 required positional arg 'parser' in "C:/.../slate3k/classes.py
# Run package locally
$ python -m scripts.main.py [-s] [-o] [-h] input_directory
```
To fix this you'll need to modify `class PDF(list):` in `C:/.../slate3k/classes.py`. In `def __init__()` change both `if PYTHON 3:` <br/> to `if not PYTHON 3:` on lines 58 and 72.

**Recommandations**
---
- Please make sure that all text files are closed before running the program.
- In order to get the best results please provide text files of the same languages.
- Pdf files that are made from scanned images won't be processed correctly.
- Ensure you have writing access when using the package
- If a specific file is not processed correctly feel free to [contact me](mailto:<[email protected]>) so that I can address the issue.

**TODO**
---
- Add more tests
- Add more tests on existing functions
- Implement OCR with tesseract for scanned documents
- Add info in console for timing (tqdm)
- Add CSS to HTML Template
- Add support for other folder structures
- Fix Slate3k by installing custom fork
- Add CSS to HTML Template to make the results better looking
- Add support for other folder structures (right now the package is expecting one pdf files per folder)
- Add custom naming option for pdf files
- Fix Slate3k by installing custom fork (check if still relevant)
