RustyGrep

RustyGrep is a command-line tool written in Rust that allows users to search for patterns in files. It is a modern implementation of the classic grep command found on Unix systems.

Features

RustyGrep offers the following features:

• Search for patterns in one or multiple files

• Search recursively through directories and subdirectories

• Case-sensitive or case-insensitive searching

• Display line numbers for matching lines

• Display context around matching lines

• Support for regular expressions

• Fast and efficient searching, thanks to Rust's performance and memory safety guarantees

Installation

To use RustyGrep, you must have Rust installed on your system. You can download Rust from the official website: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.

Once Rust is installed, you can install RustyGrep using Cargo, Rust's package manager:

cargo install rusty-grep

Usage

NOTICE: RustyGrep is still under active development and will soon be available.

The basic syntax for RustyGrep is:

rusty-grep [options] pattern [file ...]

Here are some examples:

Search for the word "hello" in a single file:

rusty-grep hello file.txt

Search for the word "world" in all .txt files in the current directory, displaying line numbers for matching lines:

rusty-grep -n world *.txt

Search for the word "foo" in all .rs files in the src directory and its subdirectories, displaying two lines of context around each matching line:

rusty-grep -C 2 foo src/**/*.rs
