XGREP
Description
Xgrep is an implementation of the famous GREP in rust. GREP which means Globally search a Regular Expression and Print is used to search the contents of a file for a regular expression. This project was built as a step for mastering the RUST programming book. A bigger version has been built by a fellow Rustacean by the name Andrew Gallant in his project called RipGrep.

git clone git@github.com:xpanvictor/xgrep.git
cd xgrep
cargo run query filepath.txt

filepath: a path leading to file to search for
Options
