A minimal Python script that automatically moves log files older than a week to an "archive" folder.

• Automatic Detection: Finds log files (.log, .txt, .out)
• Age Check: Identifies files older than 7 days
• Archive Creation: Creates archive folder automatically
• Duplicate Handling: Adds timestamps to prevent overwrites
• Sample Generation: Creates test logs for demonstration

python log_archiver.py

# Will prompt for directories
python log_archiver.py

• .log files
• .txt files
• .out files

Auto Log File Archiver
=========================
Enter log directory (or press Enter for sample): 
Created sample logs in: sample_logs

Enter archive directory (optional): 

Scanning: sample_logs
Archived: old.log

Archived 1 log file(s)

1. Scan Directory: Looks for log files in specified directory
2. Check Age: Uses file modification time to determine age
3. Create Archive: Makes "archive" subfolder if needed
4. Move Files: Moves files older than 7 days to archive
5. Handle Duplicates: Adds timestamp suffix if file exists

The script can create sample logs for testing:

• recent.log - Current timestamp (not archived)
• old.log - 10 days old (gets archived)

• Python 3.6+
• No external dependencies

• Permission errors are caught and reported
• Missing directories show appropriate messages
• File operation errors are handled gracefully
