I will note a weird workaround that does work - putting the `cut` into the ack `pager` option avoids interlining the filename: `ack get_file_id --pager='cut -d: -f2|less -iR'` Not intuitive...

So they should be able to put `--no-color` on the command line when redirecting, right? That will override the .Ackrc file setting (Also, the same `less -iR` used with `--pager=`...

One bit of good news, i'm installing a "Hardware VM" (supermini footprint) Win10 unit for Tax purposes, that'll be KVM'd, so I'll be able to test on Win10 for us....

Comments: This is an excellent bug report. I'm fascinated that this is somehow an intersection of Debug, Windows (vs *ix), and 5.16 (vs 5.22+). How do those even interact? This...

I'll look into this on Win10 once i have it set up ... although i should do the tax report that's paying for that system there first !

Hmm. I still have a Win10 box available, maybe i can get Strawberry and Ack there to test

I get the same results, including on branch `dev` `HEAD`. Additionally, `ack '(?:s ){0,1}' --color-match='bold rgb500 on_rgb550' 'test.txt'` does not colorize but `ack '(?:s ){1,1}' --color-match='bold rgb500 on_rgb550' 'test.txt'` does...

This is arguably (almost) correct behavior. an RE that can match **any** line by matching 0 or more characters arguably should not only display the entirety of every file but...

alternative hypothesis refuted - It is **not** the case that a null sequence has been (almost correctly) VT100 highlighted; there is not an empty highlighted string `^[[30;43m^[[0m` sequence in the...

for FAQ purposes, workarounds in the linked Groups discussion include (among others) using 'ack -k' to reassert 'ack 1' behavior which ignores log files, and using explicit shell *.c glob...
