grep⚑

• New: Common options.

  • -r: recursively search a directory.
  • -i: ignore case.
  • -l: print only the path of the files that have at least one match.

• New: Limit results line length.

  First 400 bytes of the line:

  grep "foobar" * | cut -b 1-400
  

  This might leave the match out, but it's simple to use and enough for most cases. The other option is:

  grep -rEo ".{0,10}wantedText.{0,10}" *

• New: Marks.

  A mark allows you to record your current position so you can return to it later.

  Usage:

  • :marks: show existing marks.
  • ma: set mark a in current position of current file, accessible only from the current file.
  • mA: set mark A in current position of current file, accessible from anywhere.
  • 'a: Go to mark a.
  • ]': jump to next line with a lowercase mark.
