tgrep | small utility was an attempt at a challenge

tgrep is a C++ library. tgrep has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

this small utility was an attempt at a challenge posted by the reddit.com team. details here: the task was to parse log files and look for a given time stamp in various formats, then copy those to the standard output, much like grep. the build batch files use msbuild and the path is found using vs100comntools env. var.. that means visual studio 2010 needs to be installed. exact match: tgrep [path] hh:mm:ss match by minute: tgrep [path] hh:mm match in range: tgrep [path] hh:mm:ss-hh:mm:ss. default path is ".\logs\haproxy.log" to generate a test log file in the default location call tgrep with "-genlog" only. this version does not fulfill all the goals set out by the challenge. 1)it assumes there are no midnight boundaries, that all the logs are on the same day. midnight jumps can be handled by parsing the day part of the timestamps too and adding that to the total number of seconds being searched. 2)large file handling is missing. the log file needs to be under the 2gb boundary. even thou the whole point
