Acts like the 'fortune' command where given a file (plain text) of quotes, pick random one and print it to screen.
To do this quickly the first time it's run unfortunate will create a cache with
offsets to the fortune locations. Subsequently running unfortunate will output
a string like:
'''8: eight'
where '8' is the random number and the text 'eight' is actually the fortune. This is just so I could verify basic operation.
This is a little semi-working/hardly tested exercise in figuring out binary file management in Go. There are lots of style issues here...
either build or just use go run .
There is a fake 'fortune' file included ./fakefortune.txt which is the default
data file path. Then a unfortante.cache file will also be made in CWD.
- Should really hash the input file and store it in the cache
- I did intend to store the lengths also but it's probably not worth it so this could be removed from the structure/file
- clean up a lot of constants either un-used or undefined (i.e. '%')
