I found a really great search tool called [http://betterthangrep.com/ ack]. It's bascically grep but better. It automatically searched directories and knows about source files (which it looks through), and source repository files (which it ignores). | |||
I normally install the standalone version | |||
<pre>curl http://betterthangrep.com/ack-standalone > ~/bin/ack && chmod 0755 !#:3</pre> | |||
You can use the ACK_OPTIONS environment variable to make ack automatically search idl and ipdl files: | |||
<pre>export ACK_OPTIONS="--type-set idl=.idl --type-set ipdl=.ipdl"</pre> | |||
