Cat command for windows 🐱

Cat command is very usefull command in linux operating system. We can print the content of multiple files in different ways using cat command. But this command is not present in windows operating system. So the main goal of this project is to make cat command for windows operating system.However this will also work in linux operating system.

Features of cat command :-

• to print the content of multiple files.

cat file1.txt file2.tx

• to copy the content of multiple files in a single file.

cat file1.txt file2.tx > result.txt

• to append the content of multiple files in an existing file

cat file1.txt file2.tx >> file3.txt

Options :-

• -n : for printing the content of the file in which each file will be followed by the line number.

cat -n file.txt

• -s : for removing multiple continuous blank lines.

cat -s file.txt

• -top c : for printing c lines from the starting.

cat -top 5 file.txt

• -down c : for printing c lines from the end.

cat -down 5 file.txt

• -help : for printing instruction that how to use this command

cat -help

Design :-

As cat command is all about displaying the content of multiple files, I am using "stdio.h" header file which contains a predefined "FILE" datatype that help us to work with files and inorder to make it work like a command i used command line arguments.
