multiple tokens with rg
hello lotabout,
I like the multiple tokens feature, particularly than when I just write two words (separated by space) they will be found even if order is different, so that works nicely on filtering file names
however this feature is lost/broken when filtering lines,
when using rg recommended setup,
can I preserve this feature somehow?
one option I can think of, would be to
only pass the first token to rg,
and give the other tokens to skim to filter further the results from rg,
it can be also misleading because the second token
is used by rg as a file to search on
please advise
@adrianstaniec To clarify, what is "multiple tokens feature"? Is it rg -e <pattern1> -e <pattern2>?
By multiple token I meant:
skim also supports the combination of tokens.
Whitespace has the meaning of AND. With the term src main, skim will search for items that match both src and main.
I like it a lot, and would like to use it also when grepping lines (content of files). Do you know if its possible?
the command you suggested, works like an OR instead of AND
I'm also interested in this. It could be understood as allowing multiple search terms to be input simultaneously, which is basically what skim's "extended search mode" is. The problem is this isn't supported in regex mode, so you can't have multiple regex search terms.
Probably the ticket to follow is over here: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/issues/875
