# Coding Challenge #1: Build Your Own wc Tool

This is my solution to the first problem in the [John Crickett's Coding Challenges](https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-wc/).

It's a Go implementation of the Unix command line tool `wc`.

## Setup

1. Clone the repo

1. Run the tool using of the following approaches:

    ```shell

    # Run the tool automatically using the go command

    $ go run main.go . [-clmw] [file... ]

    # Build a binary and run it manually

    $ go build

    $ ./go-wc [-clmw] [file... ]

    # Install the binary in your environment, and run it:

    $ go install

    $ go-wc [-clmw] [file... ]

    ```

1. Done!

## Usage

```shell

Usage of go-wc:

  -c	print the bytes count

  -l	print the lines count

  -m	print the characters count

  -w	print the words count

```

## Examples

```shell

# Default output

$ go-wc test.txt

   7145   58164  342190 test.txt

# Lines Count

$ go-wc -l test.txt

   7145 test.txt

# Words Count

$ go-wc -w test.txt

  58164 test.txt

# Characters Count

$ go-wc -m test.txt

 339292 test.txt

# Bytes Count

$ go-wc -c test.txt

 342190 test.txt

# Using stdin

$ cat test.txt | go-wc

   7145   58164  342190

```
