GREP Implementation

This is a naive implementation of the GNU grep tool, it follows the same algorithm for the string matching which is the Boyer Moore string matching algorithm. This is implmented using c++11.

How to Use?

Installation

1. First clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/sKorpion19091/GREP_Implementation.git

2. Build it from source.

This project needs to be built from source. So make sure you have the make command available.

$ make

This will then build a binary inside the build directory.

3. Usage

So we can run the program as follows:

$ ./build/main pattern "this is a pattern matching string"

The output will look something like this:

$ this is a "pattern" matching string

**Note this will only work if ANSI colors are supported on your terminal.
