🔧 How to Use

▶️ Option 1: Run via Terminal (CLI)

python main.py --user_name=<your_name>

✅ This will:

• Parse all files inside ../bank_statements/
• Save output to: ../output/user_<your_name>_parsed.csv

Optional: You can customize the input folder:

python main.py --user_name=deekshith --input_dir=../custom_folder

---

🖥 Option 2: Run via IDE (PyCharm, VSCode, Jupyter etc.)

If you run main.py without CLI arguments:

1. A GUI dialog will ask for your name.
2. All files from ../bank_statements/ will be parsed.
3. The output will be saved to ../output/user_<your_name>_parsed.csv.

⚠️ If the GUI dialog fails (e.g. in headless mode), you'll be prompted in the terminal.
