| wayland76 | Yes, agreed; but the X lines before/after is already possible, so it's only the "do/don't print until first/last match" part is needed. | 11:03 | |

| samebchase | Hi, I've noticed that when I pipe the output of rak to some other tool (head, choose etc.), I get an error, but without piping the output there's no error. Will file a proper bug report once I'm at a usable computer. | 05:51 | |
| It's been helping me at work. Thanks for making it lizmat! 💯 | |||
| [Coke] | What's the error? | 13:23 | |
| I occasionally get Too many open files | |||
| because my shell has bad defaults | |||
| 12 Jul 2025 | |||
| samebchase | Yeah, it's usually that for me | 17:26 | |
| Then I do the ulimit thing | |||
| Sometimes a "broken handle" or something when I pipe the output | 17:27 | ||
| Will get the exact logs | |||
| [Coke] | cool | 23:08 | |

| Welcome to Rakudo™ v2025.05. | |||
| lizmat | interesting, and I guess repeatable ? | 16:56 | |
| [Coke] | ... huh. no, I was unable to repro it | 18:14 | |
| weird. | |||
| lizmat | 2025.06 had a return frame fix in by patrickb: I wouldn't be surprised if that killed a gremlin | 18:19 | |
| [Coke] | cool cool | 18:27 | |

| Hi. Is there a way to get '§' as a command line option instead of part of the search terms | 16:57 | ||
| lizmat | what are you trying to do, and doesn't do what you want/expect? | 17:06 | |
| 9 Oct 2025 | |||
| [Coke] | I want to do something like ack's -w. | 15:24 | |
| and because it's not a parameter but part of the search criteria, I cant save it as an alias. | 15:25 | ||
| maybe it's already in there somewhere, there are a lot of options! | |||
| so 'rak -w word' is my end goal. | 15:33 | ||
| but right now I only see how to do that as rak §word | |||
| (which I can type on this keyboard but is much slower. :) | 15:34 | ||
| lizmat | rak --type=word word | 17:43 | |
| rak --type=words word | |||
| [Coke] | See, I'm just lazy and not reading the docs. | 18:47 | |
| lizmat++ | |||
| now I can use my muscle memory for ack -wi, whee | 18:49 | ||
| lizmat | :-) | 18:52 | |
| 19 Oct 2025 | |||
| [Coke] | someone have an example of "skip the dir named x" ? | 13:06 | |
| --dir="* ne 'nqp'" | 13:08 | ||
| is there a shortcut where I can pass something that isn't a callable? | |||
| lizmat | I'm afraid not, perhaps make an issue for it? | 16:42 | |
| 20 Oct 2025 | |||
| [Coke] | /Users/coke/sandbox/scripts/ack: line 8: 29790 Segmentation fault: 11 rak "$@" | 17:30 | |
| not reproducible. | |||
| lizmat | which Rakudo version ? | 17:31 | |
| [Coke] | Welcome to Rakudo™ v2025.10. | 17:33 | |
| lizmat | ok, so I guess we still have gremlins :-( | ||
| 21 Oct 2025 | |||
| [Coke] | should --dir="blah does not compile" die? | 23:03 | |
| should --dir="not *.starts-with('tools')" work? I get "Path specification did not select any files, so there was nothing to match." | 23:07 | ||
| but there are things in other directories. | |||
| 22 Oct 2025 | |||
| lizmat | I'm not sure whether --dir accepts a Callable... and am about to go afk | 07:20 | |
| [Coke] | No worries! | 14:09 | |
| 4 Nov 2025 | |||
| rak -- '-helper' errs.out doesn't stop processing args after -- like I'd expect. | 19:58 | ||
| lizmat | rak --pattern='-helper' | 19:59 | |
| ? | |||
| please make an issue if you really think that -- should do what you mean :-) | 20:01 | ||
| [Coke] | Used to it from a bunch of other tools. Will do | ||
| no rush | |||
