• cross combine for Linux (CS1) using git bash: $ env GOOS=linux GOARCH=386 go build

Run on Windows

./gogrep.exe [-flags] pattern filename

Run on Linux

./gogrep [-flags] pattern filename (may need to run chmod +x gogrep)

• -cs - Perform case-sensitive search. Default is false.
• -p - Number of parallel workers to use. Default is 4. Specify 1 for sequential processing.
• -v - Output all lines that match the search pattern

Testing

Build and Run

On Windows

From inside ./gogrep/ - go build -o filegenerator.exe .\filegenerator

To run - ./filegenerator.exe

On Linux

Follow similar pattern as for ./gogrep

This will create multiple files in a ./test directory that can be used to test the performance of the file searcher.
