# hline
`hline` is a very small command line utility designed to highlight lines in log files. In practice, I've found that tuning the context that `grep` gives me when `tail -f`ing a log can be quite cumbersome. Oftentimes, all I really care about is seeing that a certain message happened and some surrounding context. `hline` fills that niche!
## Usage
```
hline 0.1.0
Highlights lines that match the given regular expression
USAGE:
hline [FLAGS] <pattern> [filename]
FLAGS:
-i, --ignore-case Ignore case when performing matching. If not specified, the matching is case-sensitive.
-h, --help Prints help information
ARGS:
<pattern> The regular expression to search for. Note that this is not anchored, and if anchoring is desired,
should be done manually with ^ or $.
<filename> The file to scan. If not specified, reads from stdin
