This is an implementation of wc command in Linux which I made using C++.
wc - print newline, word, and byte counts for each file Print newline, word, and byte counts for each FILE, and a total line if more than one FILE is specified. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
-c, --bytes print the byte counts -m, --chars print the character counts -l, --lines print the newline counts --files0-from=F read input from the files specified by NUL-terminated names in file F; If F is - then read names from standard input -L, --max-line-length print the length of the longest line -w, --words print the word counts --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit
The project is made using C++ to count the bytes , words and lines in a given file irrespective of the OS or platform. Features
- Count bytes in a file
- Count words in a file
- Count lines in a file
To use the tool first compile the code by running the following commands on the terminal :
gcc -o main main.cpp
Then use the following options to execute the tool :
-b: Count bytes-w: Count words-l: Count lines
Example would be as follows :
./main -b test.txt
Output :
342181
