  • This is a great little tool that can be used cross-platform.

    (Everyone) please test the new 1.0.6 release cross-platform if you can. Java 19 was used to build it.
  • I use this tool every week, and I think it is great. I am a professional editor, and the ability to hunt through whole trees of files for specific usages and patterns is great. The addition of regular expressions (use the -e flag) in 1.0.6 is the icing on the cake.

    Thanks for the feedback, Darrenbiotext, glad you find it useful.
  • The only thing I'd like to see added is the ability to specify the number of lines before or after a match.

    Hi mideflei, thanks for suggesting, I do have this listed in the ROADMAP.txt file ("context around match (-C)") but not yet implemented. I'd prefer a limited range of say up to 5 lines, or fixed default with just -C to keep it simple.
