Ack-grep for better programmers

Ack has 10 advantages over grep:

1. Faster: by default, only the preset format (for example,. Lua. py. C. cpp) is searched ).

2. Greener: if Perl is installed, download an ACK script.

3. More convenient: recursive search for directories is the default method.

4. More Humane: by default, objects that are obviously non-conforming, such as. SVN/CVS/coredump, are ignored.

5. A larger re set: Perl re, not a subset of GNU re.

6. clearer: the search results can be highlighted or highlighted.

7. Shorter: 25% shorter than grep! It is 50% shorter than grep-r!

8. More humorous: ACK -- thppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppt

Next we will configure it in Ubuntu:

1. Create the bin directory in the current user directory (if not): mkdir ~ /Bin

2. Download ack: curl http://betterthangrep.com/ack-standalone> ~ /Bin/ack

3. Change the ACK file mode: chmod 777 ~ /Bin/ack

4. copy to the root directory: sudo CP ~ /Bin/ack/user/bin/

OK. After the configuration is complete, we can randomly CD it to a directory and search for our keywords, such as ack "way ". You will find that it is n times better than grep !!!
