C# Find Command Reimplementation

This project is a C# console application that reimplements the find command, which is typically used in Unix-based systems. The goal of this project is to provide a similar functionality using .NET 9 in a console application, allowing users to search for files and directories based on specified conditions.

Features

• Search for files and directories based on name or pattern.
• Ability to search recursively through subdirectories.
• Supports various options for filtering and displaying results.

Usage

Searches for a text string in a file or files.

FIND [/V] [/C] [/N] [/I] [/OFF[LINE]] ""string"" [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]]

  /V         Displays all lines NOT containing the specified string.
  /C         Displays only the count of lines containing the string.
  /N         Displays line numbers with the displayed lines.
  /I         Ignores the case of characters when searching for the string.
  /OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.
  ""string""   Specifies the text string to find.
  [drive:][path]filename
             Specifies a file or files to search.

If a path is not specified, FIND searches the text typed at the prompt
or piped from another command.

// === Example
FIND /N /I "sherlock" Data/text/*.txt      // Display files ignoring case and show line numbers containing word "sherlock" under the folder Data/text.
FIND /C "sherlock" Data/text/*.txt         // Display total count of lines of per file under the folder Data/text.
FIND /I "sherlock" Data/text/alls-well-that-ends-well_TXT_FolgerShakespeare.txt  // Display all lines not containing "sherlock" in the file.
