It started off as a class assignment where it was required to execute "grep" on whatever shell we were running the program on. That's why, instead of using the regexp package, we went for the above (somewhat shitty) approach. But, that's something I am definitely looking into changing!

You might have to work pretty hard to write a grep that's as good as grep. It pulls a lot of swift moves in the name of speed.
