I have a directory listing as follows (given by ls -la):
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 6 <user> <group> 204 Oct 18 12:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 <user> <group> 238 Oct 18 11:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x 14 <user> <group> 476 Oct 18 12:31 .git
-rw-r--r-- 1 <user> <group> 601 Oct 18 12:03 index.html
drwxr-xr-x 2 <user> <group> 68 Oct 18 12:13 test
drwxr-xr-x 2 <user> <group> 68 Oct 18 12:13 test2
Running ack . -f prints out the files in the directory:
index.html
How can I get ack to print out the directories in the directory? I want to ignore the .git directory (which I understand is default behavior for ack). On that note, how can I ignore certain directories?
I am using ack 1.9.6 on Mac OSX 10.8.2.
xargs. My options arefind --print0(weird syntax, trying to stay away from it) andack --print0, both of which readily pipe intoxargs -0. – KPthunder Oct 18 '12 at 16:56ack --print0less weird thanfind -print0? If you find a command hard to type/remember, make an alias. – grawity Oct 18 '12 at 16:59find . -name .git -a -type d -prune -o -type f -print0simplifies toack . -f --print0. Likewise, I want to find a way to simplyfind . -name .git -a -type d -prune -o -type d -print0into its ack equivalent. – KPthunder Oct 18 '12 at 17:09
