FileLister provides a text interface display of all files of a directory and writes those files onto a text file. The user must enter a source path, a directory to search in, and a target path, where they want to write the files to, from the command line. The user may enter file extensions to filter certain files after the source path and target path are specified. If there are no file extensions entered, FileLister will display all files in the directory. If there are not enough command arguments entered, FileLister will display an error message to the user and exit.
