npm install wackwack
====
wack stands for Wack ACK
wack aims to be a bit like ack but implemented in
node. it doesn't aim to be wack, but it kind of is at the moment.
npm install -g wack
wack searchPattern
will search the current dir (and recursively all sub dirs) for searchPattern
* -d or --dir search different dir.
* -D or --ignoredir to ignore directories
* -i or --ignorecase to ignore case
* -n or --norecurse to prevent subdirectory search
* -m or --maxcount show max of
* -k or --knowntypes only search files of known type
* -t or --type only show results from file types listed
* -T or --notype exclude results from file types listed
* -C or --nocolor to turn off output coloring
* -1 or --justone to only return the very first result
* -v or --invertmatch to return lines that do not match the search pattern
* -h or --help for help
* -V or --version for version
alternatively, you can write directory names to wack and it will stream search
results.
that looks kinda like this:
``js
var wack = require('wack')
var wack_stream = wack({pattern: 'Sheena'})
wack_stream.on('data', dump)
wack_stream.write('./ramones_albums/')
function dump(data) {
console.log(data)
// {
// filename: /current/dir/ramones-albums/rocket-to-russia.txt
// , context: 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker'
// , line: 6
// , match: ['Sheena', index: 0, input: 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker']
// }
}
`
for stream options, use the full flag name (ie ignorecase, invertmatch,pattern
etc) and for the search pattern.
file types are exactly the same as ack, except I have added markdown (which.md
checks , .mkd, and .markdown) and json (which checks .json`).
