FindR

A fast and memory-efficient command-line tool to search for patterns in files, written in Rust.

Features

• Memory-efficient file processing using buffered reading
• Simple and intuitive command-line interface
• Fast pattern matching
• Handles files of any size

Installation

From Crates.io

cargo install martinrepo-findr

From Source

1. Make sure you have Rust installed. If not, install it from rustup.rs
2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/MartinRepo/FindR.git
   cd findr
   

3. Build and install:

   cargo install --path .
   

Usage

findr <pattern> <path>

Arguments

• pattern: The text pattern to search for
• path: Path to the file to search in

Examples

Search for "hello" in a file:

findr hello file.txt

Search for "error" in a log file:

findr error server.log

How it Works

FindR uses buffered reading to process files line by line, making it memory efficient even for very large files. It reads the input file in chunks rather than loading the entire file into memory at once.

cargo build

Running Tests
