batgrep|batpipe keyword search/highlight looks bad
Hi Team,
I am using batgrep for keyward search in file and output rendering i feel is not prettier and i feel can be better. Please help me if we can address this with some config tweak. batpipe also instead of using less as pager working like cat application and processing all content in one go making screen unresponsive due to rendering or huge file.
Please help me to know how we can correct this rendering.

This should be fixed as of 4f0b961d12d8801a0663be59d6eae07a8f73faa7. The script was using bat as the pager instead of less when PAGER=bat is set, which was causing the bad rendering.

batpipe isn't meant to be run directly. It follows the LESSOPEN specification, and should only be indirectly executed by less itself.
To use it, add this to your .zshrc:
export LESSOPEN="|batpipe %s"
export BATPIPE="color"
LESS="$LESS -R"
unset LESSCLOSE
Then, any time you run less [file], it should be pretty printed by bat.
@eth-p Thanks a lot my friend for quick response so batpipe is just do like this less file.txt | batpipe right. So i should not run it directly right. Thanks i will setup the config as your suggested and test.
Yes Bat has some rendering issues. but you and sharp working to make to robust and better hope we will have better answer in future updates
sorry i wrote wrong after setting environment variable in zshrc file. i just have to run less file.txt. batpipe will do the magic automatically right?
