-### FileUtils.h
 
-for managing dictionaries we have a custom data structure, and you can use it that way:
+### usage:
-
+``` shell
-```haskell
+$ ghc -o myprog examples/Main.hs -i./src
--- Access all directories in the list of FileGroups
-let directories = map directory fileGroups
-print directories -- ["/mnt/data1", "/mnt/data2"]
-
--- Access all file lists in the list of FileGroups
-let filesList = map files fileGroups
-print filesList -- [["file1.mdx", "file2.css"], ["file3.mdx", "file4.png"]]
-
--- Filter the FileGroups where any file in the files list contains ".mdx"
-let mdict_filter = filter (\group -> any (isSuffixOf ".mdx") (files group)) fileGroups
-
--- Access all files of the filtered FileGroups
-let mdict_files = map files mdict_files
 ```
 
-you can for example, pass that list as a parameter for loading all of those dictionaries in [mdict-cpp](https://github.com/dictlab/mdict-cpp)
-
-TODO: move those functions to be some kind of helpers or operators
