A command line application in Rust

• This is a tool where we can give a string and a path, and it will print only the lines containing the given string.
• I distributed it with cargo in this link.
• We are able to run the tool like this: $ cat test.txt apple 1 bee 2 cat 3 dog 4 apple 5 $ grrs_hj apple test.txt apple 1 apple 5

project setup

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/JuliaJHL/week2-rust-mini-proj.git
2. cd into the repo: cd week2-rust-mini-proj
3. compile the project: cargo build --release
4. run the project: cargo run -- xxx(pattern) xxx(path)

examples:

I created a test.txt with the following contents: apple 1 bee 2 cat 3 dog 4 apple 5 When we apply cargo run -- apple test.txt, it would only return: apple 1 apple 5

Distributing with cargo

I made package info updates in Cargo.toml and pushlished it via: cargo login cargo publish Therefore, you can install grrs_hj and run it without cloning the repo by implementing the following commands directly: cargo install grrs_hj grrs_hj xxx(pattern) xxx(path) Here is an example:
