This script allows you to search for a specific pattern in files recursively. You can specify a directory to search in and the pattern to look for. By default, the script will search for the pattern in all files. You can also specify a file extension to limit the search to a specific file type. The output displays the line number, line content, and file name where the pattern was found.

Features 🚀

• Search for a pattern in files with a specific file extension.
• Highlight matching pattern in each line.
• Use of concurrent processing for faster search.
• Coloured output to improve readability.
• Escape regex special characters in input pattern for safe search.
