Automated Plagiarism Detector

An automated plagiarism detector that handles unzipping, generates plagiarism report and scraps the reports for minimum threshold plagiarism.

The project consists of three modules:

1. Staging Files: All the zip files are unzipped and the files that are present in unzipped folder are segreggated based on a particular format which is {rollno.}_{questionno.}. Makes multiple directories based on the number of questions.
2. Plagiarism Script: Checks for plagiarism and provides the percentage of plagiarism for each file against all the other files that are present in a directory. Generates a HTML file containing plagiarism report.
   - run script: python3 plag.py {Assignment file location} {Report generation location}
3. Scrapping Plagiarism Report: Scrapes the percentage of plagiarism from each report generated by Plagiarism Script and returns a .txt file that contains the Roll No. of all the students who have plagiarism above the minimum allowed threshold.
