Description

Would be great if objexport <path_to_dir_or_dat_file> could be implemented.

Example usage:
objexport /path/to/dir /output/dir
would export all dat files in the specified directory (as it currently does)

objexport /path/to/datfile.dat /output/dir
would export only the specified dat file.

Research direction

Start at the objexport command-line entry point and review how it currently handles a directory path. Add support for a .dat file path while preserving directory extraction, then verify that objexport /path/to/datfile.dat /output/dir exports only that file and that directory usage still exports all dat files.
