You want the --type-add
command. It sounds like you want something like this:
--type-add=qtproject:ext:pro,pri,qrc
Then you could do ack --qtproject widgets
. I like to keep names longer than I need to, so I can abbreviate as --qtp
most of the time but spell out --qtproject
if I need to for clarity of someone else reading it. Of course, you can call the filetype whatever you want.
You can put that on the command line, but more likely you're going to want to put it in an .ackrc file. You can either put it in ~/.ackrc
in your home directory, or in a .ackrc
that will localize that specification only to that directory tree.
Please let me know how it goes. I'm currently working on the docs for the --type-add
and --type-set
options and also a chapter on them in my upcoming book about ack.
Also, the --files-from
specifies a file that has a list of files to search. If you had a list of all the files to search in a file myfiles.txt
you could say ack --files-from=myfiles.txt
.

That sounds a nice feature!
What I don't understand is which effect has the --type-add
command? Does it modify the default configuration? Where is it stored?
I would indeed prefer to add it to my ~/.ackrc
file but what is the syntax then?
I'll be happy to help you to review the documentation by the way!

You store the --type-add
command in your ~/.ackrc
file. That file is checked every time you run ack. That basically makes it a default every time you run ack.
You can also put it in a public /etc/ackrc
file and then everyone on that machine who runs ack will get that --type-add
.
You can also put it in a project-level .ackrc
that will only apply when you're in that directory tree.

Ok great thank you! I realized how .ackrc
file work: it appends each line as a parameter to the ack command.
