In this project you will write yet another Python script to be run on the Unix timeshare, called Search.
This program will emulate the most elementary functionality of the grep command in Unix. The command
$ grep <string> <file>
where <string> is a string and <file> is a text file in your current working directory, prints all lines in
file <file> that contain the substring <string>. Depending on your terminal settings, it may also
highlight the occurrences of <string>in a different color. Download the files Tolkien1 and Tolkien2
from / Examples/lab5, and place them in a convenient directory on the timeshare (like ~/cse20/lab5).
From within that directory, type
$ grep Ring Tolkienl
and observe that all lines containing instances of the string 'Ring' are printed. Notice that there are 4
instances, and one instance is within the word "Rings". Thus, we see that grep is finding substrings of
each line, considered as a large string. You can also search for strings that contain spaces, as long as you
enclose that string in quotes (which you may do in any case.) Try doing
$ grep 'nd t' Tolkien1
to find two instances. Any string that contains characters having a special meaning to the bash interpreter,
such as the space, must be enclosed in quotes. For instance, if you search for a semi-colon ; by doing
$ grep ; Tolkien2
the interpreter thinks you are running two commands: grep (which gives you a usage message because you
gave it no arguments), followed by Tolkien2 (which gives a warning because the file is not executable).
On the other hand
$ grep ';' Tolkien2
sucsessfully locates two occurrences of ; within Tolkien2.
The command grep stands for: Globally search for a REgular expression and Print matching lines. A
regular expression, or regex, is a sequence of characters that specifies a search pattern. The simplest
possible such pattern is just a string to be searched for and matched, as demonstrated in the above examples.
More complex regular expressions can be used by grep to match sets of strings rather than just a single
string. We will not cover more advanced regular expressions here. Your Search program will emulate
the functionality of the grep on these elementary examples. Google the term regular expression to learn
more about this important concept, or do man grep to learn more about the functionality of the grep
command.
The output of Search will differ from that of grep in an essential way however. Instead of printing out
the lines with matching occurrences of <string>, Search will state the line number and column number
of (the beginning of) each occurrence of <string>within <file>. We illustrate the operation of Search
below on all of the preceding examples, and a few more.
