I've been using Ack tons, love it. However, I don't like the --notext default. I find that I specify --text almost every time. Just wanted to give everyone a headsup that this is the case: I introduced some bugs in my app when I missed a whole bunch of .txt templates for plain text email variants.
- CUViper 17y agoAh, but ack supports an options file, so you can actually change your own defaults. Consider adding "--text" to "$HOME/.ackrc". In case you want more, specify just one option per line.
- snprbob86 17y agoThanks for the tip. I assumed that this existed, but hadn't gotten around to looking for it yet. My point, however, was to confirm that defaults do, in fact, matter :-)
