        This package provides Python module to slice a list of sliceables (1 indexed, both start and end index are inclusive). Helps to slice file content line by line or column by column or a combination of both.
        
        # Install
        
        Install from Pypi:
        
        ```bash
        pip install rcslice
        ```
        
        # Usage
        
        ```python
        from rcslice import RowSlice
        
        rs = RowSlice()
        
        list_of_sliceables = rs.slice_list_of_sliceables(list_of_sliceables, slice_string)
        
        ```
        
        # Slicing syntax
        
        Below, r is the row number (inclusive, 1 indexed), and c is the column number (inclusive, 1 indexed)
        
            r.c-r.c
            r.c-r.c,r.c-r.c,...
            r-r         [not specifying c means the last c (always)]
            .c-.c       [not specifying both r means slice on every row for the columns]
            1.c-.c      [not specifying r means the last row when another r is specified]
            .c-1        [last row.c to first row, reversion]
                    
        
        
        Reversion, row wise or column wise or a mix of two are allowed.
        
                
        
        # Examples
        
        An example of slicing a file content read by `readlines()`:
        
        ```python
        
        import os
        from rcslice import RowSlice
        
        def get_file_lines(filename):
            content = []
            try:
                with open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), filename), 'r') as f:
                    content = f.readlines()
            except OSError as e:
                raise
            return content
        
        
        rs = RowSlice(['','']) # ['',''] will add 2 new lines for multi slice syntax (e.g 1-2,3-4,...)
        
        list_of_lines = get_file_lines('test.txt')
        
        print("before: ", list_of_lines)
        
        list_of_lines = rs.slice_list_of_sliceables(list_of_lines, '1-2,1.2-4.5,3.4-1.3,.4-.9')
        
        print("after: ", list_of_lines)
        
        ```
