Ruby version of *nix command wc with options -c, -l, -m and -w to analyse a file:

• -c prints the byte count
• -l prints the line count
• -m prints the character count
• -w prints the word count

Leaving out the option gives you -l, -w and -c.

How to run

./rwc [option] [filename], for example: ./rwc -c myfile.txt

It also supports reading from the standard input when pipe is used:

cat myfile.txt | ./rwc -m

To run this from your local environment, make sure Ruby 3.3.0 is installed. Clone the repository, run bundle install and you are good to go.
