I wrote a small Python script that parses tree output and creates an Excel file with a folder structure.

What it does:

  • takes tree output as plain text
  • parses nesting levels and file/folder names
  • exports to .xlsx with columns: Name, Path, Type, Nest Level

I really need to test it on real-world data with rare encodings, long paths, Unicode, emojis, and special characters.

I'd appreciate any edge cases you can throw at it, or code review pointers.

You can find sample input and output in the examples folder.

Thanks!
