rg

Searches using ripgrep. Examples below tested on rigpgrep 0.4.0.

Windows

Quotes
Within the Windows command prompt, quoting must be done using double quotes -- "*.sas".

UNC paths
To search within a UNC network path, the easiest method is to first cd into the directory. One may either map the drive manually or use the pushd command to automatically map the drive and cd into it.

pushd \\some\network\path\dir

Defaults

  • if pattern lowercase, then case insensitive
  • recursive
  • filenames as headers
  • line numbers
  • ignore binary files
