altbox VS ack3

My site https://altbox.dev/ has a number of ls alternatives.

You may also be interested in https://altbox.dev which has other improved versions of tools.

Here's another site of mine y'all may be interested in: https://altbox.dev/

It's a collection of improved shell tools, organized by the tool they supplement.

As with this feature comparison chart, patches and suggestions are welcome: https://github.com/petdance/altbox

fyi ack is like this but for perl instead of python https://beyondgrep.com/

If you just need a single shell command you can do :!. Example:

:!ack "stupid_structure->who_wrote_this_crap.oooohhhhh\s+="

(and if you wonder what "ack" means: https://beyondgrep.com/)

Ack is consistent with grep but will sensibly handle the recursive stuff for you.

Scan the file tree containing the website for the links, or part of tje links, for example with ack which is an easy to use, recursive reimplementation of grep.

I've thought about redoing ack in Python but it wasn't any faster than the current Perl.

Ever hear of ack it might be a faster alternative.

No, but thanks for pointing out its existence. Homepage:

(ack comes from ack-grep, a better version of grep, but you can just replace it with grep -r)

I've been a fan of ack for quite some time.  Somehow (and I'm not quite sure how) once or twice it's found stuff in source code that VSCode simply misses (likely I was searching wrong with VSCode).  And there are a few things I've found that make it even more effective in searching Elixir code that I thought I'd share.

Very much agreed. I'm a developer and I honestly prefer ack (https://beyondgrep.com/) myself. But it has the exact same issue. It's not standard.
