Yeah thats ok but holy cow, thanks for letting me find out about ack! ack is awesome!

If you like ack (and who doesn't???), you might like more or less `ag`: https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher

I did notice ack is pretty slow and i may try ag but speed isnt a problem here for me i think

btw, heres what ive been using up until now:

    alias gerp='grep -riHnT . -e'

and more recently:

    alias gerp="find . -type f | perl -lne 'print if -T;' | xargs egrep -riHnT"

ag is great - so much faster than Ack.
