Run ack in TextMate with AckMate

Comments

Grep in project is worth a mention too.

@jim: The difference in speed between grep & ack is startling. ack is much faster. Only use grep if you specifically need it.

Be careful Ack skips files and directories you may be interested in. That’s probably why it’s much faster than grep.

Out of the box ack will ignore certain file types but you can modify that behavior. The AckMate wiki describes how to do this.

You can use basic HTML markup (e.g. <a>) or Markdown.
