MiniGrep

About

A command line program similar to grep/ripgrep. Taught as a mini project in chapter 12 of the official rust book.

Basically it lets you search for all lines within a text file that contain a particular string(query).

Steps to set up and run

1. Set up rust on your system

2. Clone this repository:-

   git clone https://github.com/xoldyckk/minigrep.git
   

3. Change directory of your terminal into the cloned project folder.

   cd ./minigrep
   

4. Run the following command:-

   cargo run -- <query> <path_to_text_file>
   

   where <query> is the string which you want to search for and <path_to_text_file> is path to the text file you want to search the query in for.

   Optionally, if you want the search to be case insensitive provide an environment variable named IGNORE_CASE like this:-

   IGNORE_CASE=1 cargo run --<query> <path_to_text_file>
