Can ack output the line-number of matches, when it's only scanning a
similar file?
In grep terms this boils down to 'grep --line-number pattern file', ack
only seems to output this format (automatically) when it's matching
against multiple lines. I'd like to be able to do the same for a single
file too.

Just saw that this ticket is what I'm looking for:

Well, consider it a gently "me too", and sorry for the noise...

the same workaround as used on older grep works, append name of an empty file
ack -i grid mhtest.pl /dev/null
(on Unix derived OSs /dev/null is the canonical empty file, and bits trashcan)
