ack to the future Andy Lester & Rob Hoelz YAPC::NA
2012, June 14, Madison, WI Thursday, June 14, 12
Searching large trees of source code Thursday, June 14, 12
In the beginning... there was find+grep Thursday, June 14, 12
Search only Perl files Thursday, June 14, 12
So I created ack Thursday, June 14, 12
Recognizes filetypes • --perl matches *.pm, *.pl, *.t • and
scripts without extensions that begin with a #!...perl shebang line • Same with Python, PHP, Ruby, etc Thursday, June 14, 12
Ignores junk • .git, .svn, .hg, etc • coredumps •
binary files • blib, _build, nytprof • *~ backups Thursday, June 14, 12
Perl regexes • True Perl regexes, not PCRE. • Use
$1, $&, etc ‣ ack '#include\s*"(.+)"' --output='$1' Thursday, June 14, 12
Portable, Windows • Works back to Perl 5.8.8 • Only
one dependency, File::Next • Works on Windows when you have no other Unixy tools Thursday, June 14, 12
Easy install • Install as App::Ack from CPAN • -or-
• Install a package (might be "ack-grep" for your distro) • -or- • DL single file from betterthangrep.com Thursday, June 14, 12
Pretty output Thursday, June 14, 12
--passthru Thursday, June 14, 12
Optimized for laziness • Typing grep switches is slow •
DIY aliases + shell configs are not portable Thursday, June 14, 12

And now.... Thursday, June 14, 12
Thursday, June 14, 12
Less-surprising re: non-code searching Thursday, June 14, 12
Flexible file/dir selectors • Making types is easier! • --type-add=make:match:/^[mr]akefile/i
• --type-add=perl:firstlinematch:/perl/ • Making exclusions is easier! • --ignore-file=Makefile.PL • --ignore-dir=cache/ Thursday, June 14, 12
