Rust Grep

A clone of the grep command using rust.

Introduciton

The grep command matches a pattern within the lines of a file and prints the matching lines. In its most basic form, grep takes two arguments: pattern and path.

The pattern, as previously mentioned, is of type String and it is what the computer is told to match within the file.

The path must be given as the relative path to the location in which Grep Rust (abbreviated grrs) is saved.

Example

Here we have a local document stored in the same location as grss rust named test.txt. We are searching test.txt for the pattern "foo"

cargo run grss -- foo ./text.txt
