Minigrep

Minigrep is a basic implementation in Rust of the Linux utility grep.

Usage

minigrep word ~/path/to/file.txt

minigrep "pub struct" ~/path/to/file.rs

In the output, you will see the lines where the requested text appears.

Case sensitive

By default, Minigrep will distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters. If you don't want this, you can create the IGNORE_CASE environment variable; the value doesn't matter, it's enough that it exists.

# Linux
export IGNORE_CASE=1

Installation

Via curl

Run:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kronnor919/minigrep/main/install.sh | sudo bash
