I need someone to patch 'ack' for me ([login to view URL]) to treat all binary files as if it was searching through text files (the difference is that when it finds matches in what it detects as text files, it shows the line number and highlights the match and shows some surrounding content, while it if finds a match in a binary file, it just ouptuts a simple "binary file _____ match found" (or something similar)
I think the modifications would have to be made in these scripts here: [login to view URL]
