Bug #24230 for ack: [PATCH] Multiple bugs in -o

-------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: -o takes an argument when it shouldn't. -------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the docs, -o should show only the matching text, but the current Getopt::Long config makes it synonymous with --output. So, ack -a -o Sue t/text/boy-named-sue.txt gets parsed as output-on-match="Sue", regex="t/text/boy-named-sue.txt", path-to-search=default to cwd. Show quoted text
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue. I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue. Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue. And I said: "My name is Sue! How do you do! Now you gonna die!" Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you Sue." Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name! -- "A Boy Named Sue", Johnny Cash Show quoted text

Ack should emulate grep and show filenames when searching with -o unless explicitly suppressed with -h.

Consequently he blames the beliefs of others, which he would not do if he were just, but his dislike is based on ignorance. :Muid ad-Din ibn al-Arabi
