Cowread

Welcome to Cowread

"But cows cant read!"

They can now! Cowread is a simple and easy to use program that searches any local file for a defined search term and pipes the output through cowread. Why read your files when you can cowread them?!

Why?

  • Because everybody's got to start somewhere.
  • I started with Cowread.
  • Cowread is a tutorial exercise for me to learn the basics of shell scripting.
  • I wrote Cowread the same day I first used the command line.
  • Yes, this list is an arbitrary exercise in markdown.
  • I'm new at that too.

What makes Cowread such a great tutorial program?

Three things.
  1. Cowread is simple. It is a short script that I was able to write in a few minutes.
  2. Cowread is integrative. It utilizes many of the commands I learned early on, including 'grep' and piping.
  3. Cowread is Fun. It's a talking cow!
