Grep but Cooler :)

Grep++ was a project that I worked on at the beginning of 2026 to cement my fundamentals in c++. To be perfectly honest, I got the idea from ChatGPT but importantly, I did work on the programming myself.

Grep++ itself works almost identically to normal grep, take a quick look at the --help message

grep++ finds a substring in a file.
|
USAGE: grep++ [flags]  
EXAMPLE: grep++ 'hello' file.txt
|
FLAGS:
  -i = Case-insensitive
  -c = At the end of the output it shows the number of times the substring was found
  -C = Just shows the number of times which the substring was found
  -n = Shows the line numbers next to the lines themselves
  -N  = Only finds num instances of that substring
  -v = Displays the version of the program
  -h = Displays this message
