TextMate users know just how slow its 'Find in Project' can be with large source trees. That's why you need 'ack-in-project' — a TextMate bundle that uses the super-speedy 'ack' tool to search your code FAST. It gives you beautiful, clickable results just as fast as 'ack' can find them. Check it out at: https://github.com/protocool/ackmate
:Ack foo
, which will run ack and load ack's results into a vim buffer for manipulation and navigation. cat file | h foo bar batand each of the three words 'foo', 'bar' and 'bat' will be highlighted as a different color. See https://github.com/paoloantinori/hhighlighter
grep
. I suggest you take a look at some of these alternatives, for they may suit your needs better than ack. If you have any suggestions to add to this list, please let me know at [email protected] or submit an issue at https://github.com/petdance/beyondgrep/issues.
