With the intention to learn rust further, we followed some tutorials and one was about creating a little "grep" clone. After a bit of coding we had so much fun, that we expanded the project further...

Key Features

• Search for a certain string
• Locate a certain file

Installation

If you just want to use the tool, you can download the latest release and execute it via a command line.

# Locate the search.exe and execute it
search.exe --help

Alternatively you can download the repository and compile it yourself.

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ValuONE/search

# Build the project
cargo build --release

It will create an executable in target/release!

Or simply do

cargo install search

Usage

To get started just type search.exe --help you should now see this output:

Commands:
  locate    Locate a file on your computer
  find      Find a string in a file
  help      Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
