As [Andy Lester](http://www.theworkinggeek.com) told me [`ack`](http://betterthangrep.com) is a simple file you only have to copy in your `~/bin` folder. Now I've got `ack` on my professional server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Go on [http://betterthangrep.com](http://betterthangrep.com) to download it.

Sincerely, I don't understand `ack` don't become a common command on all UNIX systems. I can no more live without. For me it is as essential as `which` or `find`.

Better than grep
|
||
|
|
=============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the my main usage of `grep` is
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div>
|
||
|
|
<code class="zsh">
|
||
|
|
grep 'pattern' **/*(.)</code>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of time it is enough.
|
||
|
|
But it is far better with colored output.
|
||
|
|
`ack-grep` in Ubuntu does that.
|
||
|
|
As I couldn't install it on my 'Evil Company Server',
|
||
|
|
I had done one myself in very few lines:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div>
|
||
|
|
<code class="zsh" file="ack">
|
||
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
|
||
|
|
(($#<1)) && { print 'usage: ack "regexp"' >&2; exit 1 }
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
listeFic=( **/*(.) )
|
||
|
|
autoload zargs
|
||
|
|
zargs -- $listeFic -- grep $1 | perl -ne 'use Term::ANSIColor;
|
||
|
|
if (m/([^:]*)(:.*)('$1')(.*)/) {
|
||
|
|
print color("green").$1;
|
||
|
|
print color("reset").$2;
|
||
|
|
print color("black","on_yellow").$3;
|
||
|
|
print color("reset").$4."\n";
|
||
|
|
} '
|
||
|
|
</code>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For my team and I it is usable enough.
|
||
|
|
I hope it could help.
