HI,

I hacked Henrik Nyh's Grep in Project to use ack instead. You can download the new command "Search in Project with ack" at this page:

http://www.simplicidade.org/notes/archives/2008/03/ search_in_proje.html

This is the first command that I publish, so if you find any problems, please drop me a note.

Oh cool, thanks Pedro. Ack is a fantastic tool. Highly recommended to everyone who regularly searches their source code.

In other ack/TextMate news here's a little Perl program which I keep as ~/bin/tack:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict; use warnings; use TextMate::JumpTo qw( tm_location ); use HTML::Tiny; use File::Temp qw( tempfile );

$| = 1;

my @args = grep { $_ ne '--nocolor' } @ARGV; unshift @args, '--color' unless grep { $_ eq '--color' } @args;

my $h = HTML::Tiny->new;

my ( $oh, $oname ) = tempfile( SUFFIX => '.html' );

print $oh $h->open( 'html' ), $h->head( $h->title( 'Search results' ), $h->style( do { local $/; <DATA> } ) ), $h->open( 'body' ), $h->open( 'table' );

my $last_file = ''; my $tr_style = {};

open my $ack, '-|', 'ack', @args or die "Can't run ack ($!)";

LINE: while ( defined( my $line = <$ack> ) ) { chomp $line; if ( $line =~ /^--\s*$/ ) { $tr_style = { class => 'dv' }; next LINE; } my @parts = grep { $_ } split /(\x1b[(?:K|\d+(?:;\d+)*m))/, $line; my ( $file, $line, @info ); for ( @parts ) { if ( /^([-:])(\d+)\1(.*)/ ) { ( $line, @info ) = ( $2, $3 ); } elsif ( @info ) { push @info, $_ unless /^\x1b[K/; } elsif ( $_ !~ /^\x1b/ ) { $file = $_; } }

my $state = ''; my $pos = 1; my $column = 0;

my $info = join '', map { /^\x1b[(.+)/ ? $state eq $1 ? '' : do { $state = $1; $column ||= $pos; $_ eq "\x1b[0m" ? $h->close( 'a' ) : $h->open( 'a', { href => tm_location( file => $file, line => $line, column => $pos ) } ); } : do { $pos += length $_; _ns( $h->entity_encode( $_ ) ); } } @info;

if ( $last_file ne $file ) { print $oh $h->tr( $h->th( { colspan => 2 }, $h-

entity_encode( $file ) ) );

$last_file = $file; $tr_style = {}; }

print $oh $h->tr( $tr_style, [ $h->td( { align => 'right', class => 'ln' }, $line ), $h->td( $info ) ] ); $tr_style = {}; } close $ack; print $oh $h->close( 'table' ), $h->close( 'body' ), $h->close( 'html' ); close $oh; _open( $oname, 0 );

sub _open { my ( $url, $bg ) = @_; my @cmd = ( '/usr/bin/open', ( $bg ? ( '-g' ) : () ), $url ); system @cmd and die "Can't open $url ($?)"; }

sub _ns { my $s = shift; $s =~ s/\s/&nbsp;/g; return $s; }

__DATA__

html, body { font-family: monospace; background: black; color: #eee; }

a { background: yellow; color: black; text-decoration: none; }

.ln { color: #666; }

th { text-align: left; border-bottom: 1px solid #222; color: #8f8; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; }

td { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 10px; }

.dv td { padding-top: 18px; }

It's compatible with ack but instead of displaying output to the console it creates and opens an HTML document containing the search results. Each search hit is a link that jumps to the appropriate location in TextMate.
