rusty-text

A tiny Rust CLI that writes a phrase to a file a chosen number of times.

Huge counts are streamed in chunks, so memory use stays bounded.

Features

Interactive mode (prompts for phrase and repeat count)
Command mode (rusty-text "hello" 1000)
Optional output path (-o / --output)
Buffered streaming writes for very large counts

Requirements

Rust 1.85+ (edition 2024)

Run

cargo run

Then follow prompts.

Or run with arguments:

cargo run -- "hello world" 1000000
cargo run -- -o out.txt "hello world" 1000000

Build

cargo build --release

Usage

rusty-text [OPTIONS] [PHRASE] [COUNT]

Arguments:
  PHRASE    Text to repeat (prompted if omitted)
  COUNT     Times to repeat; must be > 0 (prompted if omitted)

Options:
  -o, --output <FILE>  Output path [default: output.txt]
  -h, --help           Print help
  -V, --version        Print version

COUNT may include underscores (1_000_000).

Output

The program writes one repetition per line to:

output.txt (in the current directory), or the path given with --output
