CCWC

A wc clone written in python.

It can:

• count lines
• count bytes
• count words (more to be added soon)

Functioning

This will work exactly like the wc command. Download the .py file then:

• count lines: python3 ccwc.py -l test.txt
• count bytes: python3 ccwc.py -c test.txt
• count words: python3 ccwc.py -w test.txt

Replace test.txt with any text file.

Description (from the man page of wc)

wc (1) - print newline, word, and byte counts for each file

Motivation

I got inspired from Coding Challenges: https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-wc
