This was a result of misinterpreting a feature in grep where NUL bytes
are replaced with \n. The primary reason for doing this is to avoid
excessive memory usage on truly binary data. However, grep only does this
when searching binary files as if they were binary, and which only reports
whether the file matched or not. When grep is told to search binary data
as text (the -a/--text flag), then it doesn't do any replacement so we
shouldn't either.
In general, this makes sense, because the user is essentially asserting
that a particular file that looks like binary is actually text. In that
case, we shouldn't try to replace any NUL bytes.
ripgrep doesn't actually support searching binary data for whether it
matches or not, so we don't actually need the replace_buf function.
However, it does seem like a potentially useful feature.
If we do, this results in extracting `foofoofoo` from `(\wfoo){3}`,
which is wrong. This does prevent us from extracting `foofoofoo` from
`foo{3}`, which is unfortunate, but we miss plenty of other stuff too.
Literal extracting needs a good rethink (all the way down into the regex
engine).
Fixes#93
Closes#26.
Acts like --count but emits only the paths of files with matches,
suitable for piping to xargs. Both mmap and no-mmap searches terminate
after the first match is found. Documentation updated and tests added.
A standard glob of `foo/**` will match `foo`, but gitignore semantics
specify that `foo/**` should only match the contents of `foo` and not
`foo` itself. We capture those semantics by translating `foo/**` to
`foo/**/*`.
Fixes#30.
This is kind of a ticky-tack change. I do think ./ as a prefix is
reasonable default, *but* we strip ./ when showing search results, so it
does make sense to be consistent.
Fixes#21.
If a gitignore file in a *parent* directory is used, then it must be
matched relative to the directory it's in. ripgrep wasn't actually
adhering to this rule. Consider an example:
.gitignore
src
llvm
foo
Where `.gitignore` contains `/llvm/` and `foo` contains `test`. When
running `rg test` at the top-level directory, `foo` is correctly searched.
If you `cd` into `src` and re-run the same search, `foo` is ignored because
the `/llvm/` pattern is interpreted with respect to the current working
directory, which is wrong. The problem is that the path of `llvm` is
`./llvm`, which makes it look like it should match.
We fix this by rebuilding the directory path of each file when traversing
gitignores in parent directories. This does come with a small performance
hit.
Fixes#25.
We were erroneously neglecting to prefix a pattern like `foo/`
with `**/` (to make `**/foo/`) because it had a slash in it. In fact, the
only reason to neglect a **/ prefix is if the pattern already starts
with **/, or if the pattern is absolute.
Fixes#16, #49, #50, #65
I don't like having multiple flags do the same thing, but -u, -uu and -uuu
are much easier to remember, particularly with -uuu meaning "search
everything."
We do this by avoiding using a RegexSet (*sigh*). In particular, file
type matching has much simpler semantics than gitignore files, so we don't
actually need to care which file type matched. Therefore, we can get away
with a single regex with a giant alternation.
