add bug report instructions to web site
|
| |
I'd like to suggest that the ack web site include instructions on how to file a bug report. I can't seem to find instructions on the web site. In particular, should bug reports be sent to the users list or posted as an issue on GitHub? The web site doesn't seem to mention the GitHub site, by the way.... more »

About the algorithm
|
| |
This is Jack. I am wondering what is the exact pattern matching algorithm behind ack-grep??? I know that grep using BM for single pattern matching and Aho-crasick for multi-pattern matching. So how about ack-grep? Cheers.

json file type
|
| |
Has there been any consideration of making .json a recognized type (or including it in a javascript type)? I'm new to ack and was tripped up temporarily by json files not being searched. For comparison, YAML is a recognized type: --[no]yaml .yaml .yml Thanks for a great tool, --Chris... more »

Replacing -G in ack 2.0
|
| |
Two points in this mail:
* The -G is going away in ack 2.0. It was a mistake to have two regexes passed to ack.
* What mechanic do we replace it with?
I'm removing -G in ack 2.0 because having more than one regex in an ack invocation is a bad thing.
When ack first started, there was no -f, no -g, no -G. ack would just take "ack regex", and ack would search for "regex".... more »

Locating system ackrc on a non-global installation (ack 2)
|
| |
Hello everyone, As you may know, ack 2.0 searches for several different ackrc files (global, user, and project). The global location defaults to '/etc/ackrc' on Unix-like systems. However, sometimes you may be operating in an environment where you don't have write access to the /etc directory (ex. a... more »

-g, case sensitivity, and ack2
|
| |
Hello everyone, I often find myself typing something like the following: ack --perl -g -i widget ...to find all Perl files with the word 'widget' in the name, ignoring case. However, this doesn't work in ack 1.x! So Andy and I were planning on adding this to ack2, but then I remembered that the -G option exists. When using -G,... more »

Hi, The attached patch makes the existing shebang recognition of user-configurable types beyond the hard-coded perl/python/ruby and shell scripts.

Features for ack2
|
| |
Hello everyone, Until now, I've been using ack2's issue tracker on Github as a dumping ground for ideas I've had, usually asking for Andy's thoughts. I decided today that I'd like some community feedback as well, so I'm going to try to post my ideas here first to be evaluated. So here's some ideas I've... more »
