drep is a basic clone of grep (or more accurately, rgrep) written in Deno with no third-party dependencies. It uses workers to search files in separate threads, making it faster than standard grep (but not faster than other modern versions like ripgrep).
To use drep, you can run the following commands:
drep "some string" file_or_folder: Search for a string in a file or folder.
cat some_file.txt | drep "some string": Search for a string in stdin.
drep "some string" .: Search for a string in the current directory.
Searches are recursive by default.
You can also pass a valid JavaScript RegExp instead of a search string.
-n: Include line numbers in the search results.
-i: Perform a case-insensitive search.
To build drep, run bash build.sh to create a binary at ./drep.
To run the tests, use the following command: deno test -A.
