CS 333 Assignment 1: s/ed/grep/
- elvis70 6y agoThe author of the assignment is Brian Kernighan. >"By now you've heard (or would have, if you had been at the first lecture) the story of how Ken Thompson, best known as the father of Unix, created the original grep command in a single evening, starting with the Unix editor ed. Your assignment is to do the same thing, although with three advantages and one disadvantage. The advantages are that you have a week, you know what grep is and does, and ed is now written in C, not PDP-11 assembler as it originally was. The disadvantage? You're not Ken Thompson."
