Hi, Just to mention I wrote a little script (attached) to use as Geany's Grep tool that converts the Find in Files options to 'ack' format, then runs ack.
(See http://betterthangrep.com/ for info on ack).
Useful to easily ignore version control directories, use Perl regular expressions, etc.
The script is by no means perfect: * Currently it hangs Geany whilst looking for search results - maybe a Perl expert can work out how to fix this though? * Only tested with ack 1.78 * No support for ack --thpppt ;-)
Regards, Nick
