This is my own version of the Unix command line tool wc
. It is a solution to the first problem in John Crickett's Coding Challenges.
Execute make build
to create the executable. It will be saved in the bin/
directory.
Execute the binary with a file as an argument to get the result.
The following are the possible arguments:
# Outputs the number of bytes
> ./bin/ccwc -c test.text
341836 test.txt
# Outputs the number of line breaks
> ./bin/ccwc -l test.text
7137 test.txt
# Outputs the number of characters
> ./bin/ccwc -m test.txt
339120 test.txt
# Outputs the number of words
> ./bin/ccwc -w test.text
58159 test.txt
# Outputs with -c, -l and -w flags
> ./bin/ccwc test.text
7137 58159 341836 test.txt
You can also read from standard input
> cat test.txt | ./bin/ccwc -l
7137
Execute make test
You should see a result matching something like:
=== RUN TestGetFileStats
--- PASS: TestGetFileStats (0.00s)
PASS
