success 5965 ack 2007-06-12T18:31:09Z 2009-09-08T18:32:05Z ack is a tool like grep, aimed at programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code. ack is written purely in Perl, and takes advantage of the power of Perl's regular expressions. * Searches recursively through directories by default, while ignoring .svn, CVS and other VCS directories. * ack ignores most of the crap you don't want to search * Lets you specify file types to search, as in --perl or --nohtml. * Color highlighting of search results. * Uses real Perl regular expressions, not a GNU subset. * ack is pure Perl, so consistent across all platforms. It even comes as a single standalone program with no module dependencies. http://petdance.com/ack/ ack http://bits.ohloh.net/attachments/3175/Ack_med.png http://bits.ohloh.net/attachments/3175/Ack_small.png 98 4.80645 31 697749 697749 5965 2009-09-13T16:36:08Z 2009-09-13T16:36:03Z 2006-08-01T00:00:00Z 2009-09-01T00:00:00Z 2 6089 8 Perl artistic Artistic License gpl GNU General Public License 2.0
