rust_grep

Minimalist's grep written in Rust, inspired by ripgrep.

Disclaimer

This project was made as a learning project.

As such, do not expect to find top quality code in this repo.

That being said, I do try my best to make the code as good as I know about.

This project is also unlikely to receive any updates as it is already "finished" with all the features I care about.

Usage

``` Usage: rustgrep [OPTION]... QUERY [FILES]... Search for PATTERN in FILES. Example: rustgrep -i 'hello world' file1.txt file2.txt

Options: -i Ignore case distinctions in PATTERN -n Print line number with output lines -v Invert match: select non-matching lines -F String searching, disables regex -x Only match whole lines, only works with -F -w Only match whole words, only works with -F -m= Stop after NUM matches -h Print this help and exit ```

Features

• Regex support
• Reads from stdin so users can pipe programs' outputs into it (e.g. seq 10000 | rust_grep '^\\d{1,3}$')
• Customizable using command flags

Todo(?)

• Colour (Low Priority)
