rahat3062_minigrep
rahat3062_minigrep
is a light-weight and minimal implementation of the grep command-line application. It is written in Rust and can be used both as a standalone application and as a library for other Rust programs.
Binary Crate
install via:
cargo install rahat3062_minigrep && \
alias minigrep = rahat3062_minigrep
The binary crate provides a command-line interface to the grep functionality. You can use it to search for a string in a file. Here's how to run it:
minigrep <query> <filename> -s
Replace with the string you want to search for and with the path to the file you want to search in and use -s for sensitive search.
If needed you can also take input from the stdin via pipelining:
history | minigrep cargo
Library Crate
The library crate provides a run
function that you can use to perform a grep search programmatically. Here's an example:
use rahat3062_minigrep::{Config, run};
let config = Config {
query: "my query".to_string(),
filename: Some("my_file.txt".to_string()),
sensitive: false,
};
let result = run(config);
In this example, run searches for "my query" in "my_file.txt" and returns the matching lines. The search is case-insensitive because sensitive is false.
