commenting out the Minified JS section, and add
--ignore-ack-defaults at the top;
this makes *nicer comments* in .ackrc !)
Those are both possible options, and I'll probably end up doing the
second, just because I already back up my .ackrc and copy it to new
machines. If I have my own copy of ack, I'll have to remember to back up
and copy that, and keep it up-to-date with the main copy. Admittedly
that's not too hard, and I already do it with a couple other open source
things I use, but it's "one more thing".
Comment: since you like searching minified long-line files blocked as
too ugly to view by *
*
*# minified JavaScript
--ignore-file=match:/[.-]min[.]js$/
--ignore-file=match:/[.]js[.]min$/*
you may also want to search the things suppressed by
*# minified CSS*
*--ignore-file=match:/[.]min[.]css$/*
*--ignore-file=match:/[.]css[.]min$/ *
so i suggest you consider commenting out those two as well to minimize
surprise, or not, as you prefer.
Yes, I'd planned on commenting out/--noignore-file'ing minimized css too.
Thanks,
Brian
