How to let ack support more filetypes?

问题

in ack's home page, there lists a lot of file type, but without aspx, is it possible to let ack support it?

回答1:

On window,add .ackrc file under C:\Documents and Settings\yourname,with content

--type-set=aspx=.aspx

you can set a type to multi file extension,seperate by ","

--type-set=aspx=.aspx,.ascx

Note

ack syntax and behaviour has changed significantly with version 2. The equivalent of the above in version 2 would be:

--type-set=aspx:ext:aspx,ascx

Where the syntax is --type-set TYPE:FILTER:FILTERARGS and FILTER can be any of ext, is, match, firstlinematch. You should definitely read the man page for detailed explanation.

see

• The .ackrc file
• Defining your own types
• ack version 2 man page

回答2:

--type-add TYPE=.EXTENSION[,.EXT2[,...]]
                    Files with the given EXTENSION(s) are recognized as
                    being of (the existing) type TYPE

You can add this to .ackrc in your homedirectory.
