#gerp

Half the time I try to run grep I end up typing gerp. I thought a good learning experience with golang would be to write a grep-like command line application that does the kind of grepping I usually do, which is looking for something in all the files in a directory, or also all the directories underneath as well (ie. recursive). Also I prefer to put the directory to search first, then the patter, which is backwards when compared to grep.

##Build and tests

##Example

This will check all the files in the test directory to see if they contain the pattern "hi".

curtis$ ./gerp test hi
test/test_grep.txt: hi

##Issues

• Can't search a single file yet (doesn't know it's being pointed to a single file instead of a directory)
• Doesn't know a file is a binary file (feature I'd like to add)
