Overview

This script automates the extraction of JSON data from .MIR files using a web-based interface. It is designed to process files within specific folders located in the parent directory, where the folder names should start with "Mir". The script logs data collection details and any issues encountered during the extraction process.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Selenium library (install using pip install selenium)
• Firefox web browser or Google chrome (for WebDriver support)

Usage

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mir-file-data-extractor.git
   cd mir-file-data-extractor

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install selenium

3. Ensure you have the Firefox web browser installed, as the script uses the Firefox WebDriver.

4. Place the folders containing .MIR files in the parent directory. Folder names must start with "Mir".

5. Run the script:

   python mir_data_extractor.py

   Follow the on-screen prompts, and the script will process the .MIR files, collect data, and log any issues encountered.

Folder Structure

The script expects the following folder structure:

project_root

┌── Mir_Folder_1                   
│ ├── file1.MIR
│ ├── file2.MIR
│ └── ••• 
│
├── Mir_Folder_2                   
│ ├── file1.MIR
│ ├── file2.MIR
│ └── •••
│
├── •••
│
├── mir_data_extractor.py
│
└── README.md

Folders containing .MIR files should be located in the root directory of the project, and their names should start with "Mir".

Results

The script generates output JSON files and issues files for each processed folder. These files are saved in respective output folders named after the processed folders.

JSON output: <folder_name> JSON/<folder_name>.json Issues output: <folder_name> JSON/Issues.txt
