Subject: Print "the rest of the file" (feature request)
Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:00:50 +0000
To: bug-ack [...] rt.cpan.org
From: "J. David Blackstone" <jdavidb [...] goreadthebible.com>
I'd like an option to ack that causes it to print all lines of a file beginning with the first match (or the Nth match). That is, it would skip all lines of a file until the match, and then print that line and all subsequent lines, regardless of whether or not they match. You may not think this is entirely appropriate for ack, but I thought I'd ask anyway, just in case. :) jdb
Please go and join the ack-users mailing list, and propose your idea there. I'd like to hear what others think. Thanks, xoxo, Andy
