File Search Tool

The File Search Tool (FST) is a tool to scan a document or a directory looking for lazy or strict matches of a given word.

---

Usage

To search a file:

Instaniate the FST with the file (from PWD) and the string you'd like to search for: search = FileSearchTool.new('./test_file.txt', 'query')

For 'lazy' matches, use lazy_matcher, which will return a count of partial or complete matches

For strict matches, use strict_matcher, which will return a count of only strict query matches

---

To search a directory:

Instaniate the FST with the directory you would like to search in: dir = DirSearchTool.new('directory')

For 'lazy' matches, use dir_lazy_matcher('query'), which will return lazy search results for each file in the directory.

For strict matches, use dir_strict_matcher('query'), which will return strict search results for each file in the directory.
