A command line word count tool built in go, as a learning exercise
This was picked from https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-wc/
Run the command go-wordcount-cli /filePath/fileName.txt, this should print the number of bytes, chars, lines, and words respectively.
If you want only some of those, use flags while running the command.
-l or --lines: For number of lines
-m or --chars: For number of chars
-w or --words: For number of words
-c or --bytes: For number of bytes
The current implementation makes use of cobra module to build a cli. There is only one root command, and it supports 4 flags - lines, words, chars and bytes. The implementation is not optimised for performance, rather ease of building. There is plenty room for performance optimisation in terms of counting words, lines, etc.
