# Coding Challenges - Write Your Own wc Tool
This project implements a custom version of the Unix wc tool in JavaScript: ccwc. Like the original wc, it allows you to:
- Count the number of bytes in a file
- Count the number of lines in a file
- Count the number of words in a file
- Count the number of characters in a file
This implementation provides a fun and practical way to explore JavaScript and its capabilities.
## Getting Started
1. Installation
```
git clone [email protected]:victoriacheng15/cc-write-your-wc-tool.git
cd cc-write-your-wc-tool
```
2. Set up
```
npm link
```
3. Run the command
```
ccwc -m example.txt
```
Note: keep in mind, that the `ccwc` command only works in this directory.
## Usage
This tool helps you analyze a file's size and content. You can use it to count the number of bytes, lines, words, and characters in a file.
| Flag | Description |
| :--: | :------------------------- |
| -c | print the byte count |
| -l | print the lines count |
| -w | print the words count |
| -m | print the characters count |
### Basic Usage
There are two ways to use `ccwc`:
1. File as input:
```bash
ccwc [option] [file]
```
example:
```bash
ccwc -l example.txt
```
2. Standard Input
You can pip date directly to the tool using standard input:
```bash
cat example.txt | ccwc -flag
```
exmaple:
```bash
cat example.txt | ccwc -l
```
### Default Behavior
If you don't specify any flag, the tool will automatically print the byte, line, word counts
example:
```bash
ccwc example.txt
# output:
7137 58159 341836 example.txt
```
### Summary
- Use `flags` to specify which count you want to see.
- Provide a `file path` as input.
- Alternatively, pipe `data` directly using standard input.
- By default, the tool shows `bytes`, `lines`, and `words` count.
