Tool: rak - like grep only optimized for source code repos

Jim

Just ran across this nice command-line tool: rak

Rak is a grep replacement in pure Ruby. It accepts Ruby syntax regular expressions and automatically recurses directories, skipping .svn/, .cvs/, pkg/ and more things you don't care about. It is based on the Perl tool ack by Andy Lester.

To install: $ gem install rak

An example on Windows 8 cmd.exe

Nice! Thanks for the link!
