Subject: argument to force search of *.inc files
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author
Here's my current .ackrc:

--nosql
--type-add
php=es.inc

because the files I want to search take the form "common.es.inc" ...
as language files, they may also be named "common.en.inc" etc.

3 questions:

1. Do I have something wrong in my ackrc? It doesn't give errors, but
it's still not searching my files properly. If I add a location
parameter with a * on the end to search all files, then it sees them.

2. Would ack recognize something like php=*.inc?

3. If I used -a and then arguments like --nosql, would it make ack
switch from a whitelist to a blacklist?

You can't do "es.inc" in ack 1.x.  ack 2.x will be much more flexible.

No.

Yes, except that I'm pretty sure -a makes all file type checking stop.

Tested and Confirmed

$ ack -a --nohtml -il 'john butler'
lists html files.

The way to test that without actually searching is to use the -f flag.  The -f was originally a debugging tool for me to see what files would get searched, and I figured "Hey, this is actually useful."

Yeah. But I was ack'ing for Butler at that time anyway, so I knew what the
right answers were. And thus they were in cache.

Hi Andy,

I noticed that a great deal of the questions posted here are being answered
with "it *will* be fixed in Ack 2.x" (i.e: sometime in the future). In the
meantime, we are stuck helpless with only Ack 1.x, and while the Ack 2.x beta
only supports a very small subset of its flags and functionality and is quite
unusable.

I recall that Ack 2.x has been under development for many months now -
possibly about two years. Why does it take so long? Wouldn't an adaptation of
the existing Ack 1.x have taken much less time than that? If you think a
complete rewrite was in order, then it must have been justified by a faster
development time, which doesn't appear to be the case.

I would have contributed to Ack, but I'm unhappy with some of the design
decisions in its code, such as the deliberately procedural and non-OOP
interface, which are not going to be addressed in Ack 2.

Regards,

        Shlomi Fish
