I see where you’re going for, and at this point I don’t want to change the behavior of how ack hunts for .ackrc files. If you’d like to submit this is as a feature request to the ack2 queue on GitHub, maybe others will chime in. Maybe it’s something a lot of people want. One thing you might try as a workaround is setting the ACKRC environment variable. -- Andy Lester => www.petdance.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ack users" group.
