Key Features

• 🚀 Automated File Traversal:
  Automatically scans the selected directory and subdirectories for target files, reducing manual effort.

• 🔍 Pattern Matching with Regular Expressions:
  Extracts data using robust regular expressions, ensuring flexibility and accuracy.

• 📂 Dynamic Output File Naming:
  Names the output file based on the input directory, making it easy to identify the source of extracted data.

• ⚡ Error Resilience:
  Gracefully handles errors (e.g., file encoding issues, missing patterns) and logs them for debugging.

• 👥 User-Friendly Interface:
  Uses Tkinter to provide a graphical interface for directory selection, making it accessible to non-technical users.

• 📈 Scalability:
  Efficiently handles large datasets with multiple subdirectories and files.

• 📝 Formatted and Readable Output:
  Outputs credentials in a structured format (URL|username|password) that can be directly used or parsed by other tools.

• 🌐 Cross-Platform Compatibility:
  Built with standard Python libraries (os, re, tkinter), ensuring compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
