  For vi users, I recommend this plugin: https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim https://github.com/mileszs/ack.vim. I like it better than simply replacing grep with ack. This has made me a lot more productive, as I can do complex searches MUCH faster!

  Textmate users should absolutely check out AckMate (https://github.com/protocool/AckMate https://github.com/protocool/AckMate), which runs circles around "find in project".

  Generally speaking, matching regexpes using perl instead of grep is often a win : perl -p -e 'm/regexp/' somefile
  • chaosfox 16y ago
    That will print the whole file regardless, I think you meant: perl -ne 'print if /regex/' file

      Indeed :) Sorry for the mishap.
