File this under #shell #functions I should have written years ago:

function grepc { #Do a grep -c, but skipping files with no results grep -c "$@" |grep -v ':0$' }

#unix #UnixShell #ShellScripting #bash #ksh

Oh, didn't know about -c. I usually just pipe to wc -l I guess.

@amin

-c, -l, -h, -H, and -q are my favorite #grep flags. :D

Huh, that almost became a [Marcel Duchamp] reference. 😅

@rl_dane

I just use -v and -E

@amin @rl_dane you guys use flags?... :p
Show threadthedoctorFeb 4
@amin @rl_dane @sotolf You guys still use grep instead of ripgrep. Tst

...and bash instead of zsh
...and grep/awk/sed instead of jq
...and firefox instead of chrome
...and the fediverse instead of facebook

Face it... I'm an unpopular-opinion neckbeard level boss. XD

@rl_dane Those are so not comparable!

@thedoctor @rl_dane @amin @mirabilos At least bash and zsh is comparable to grep ripgrep, as zsh is just a strictly better bash ;)
Show threadmirabilosFeb 5
@rl_dane @sotolf @amin @thedoctor strictly even slower 😹

@mirabilos @rl_dane @amin @thedoctor Well, I see you have never tried fish :p

@mirabilos @rl_dane @amin @thedoctor @sotolf fish is fun
Show threadsotolfFeb 5
@kabel42 @mirabilos @rl_dane @amin @thedoctor No, it's absolutely not fun, first of all it breaks all scripts. They break all the shortcuts that I use all the time in interactive sessions, it's slow, and if you want to configure it, guess how you configure a command line tool it boots up a web server where you configure it... the whole thing is utterly ridiculous.

@amin @sotolf @thedoctor @kabel42 @rl_dane but systemd does the same if it crashes, it even displays a QR code so you can easily connect with its built-in webserver to access the error information! This is the future!!!!11

@mirabilos @amin @sotolf @thedoctor @rl_dane MS does that for windows too so, why not?

@kabel42 @sotolf @amin @thedoctor @rl_dane systemd is an attempt at USERLAND.EXE and Poettering, Bocassi et al. do work for MS after all…

@rl_dane @mirabilos @amin @sotolf @thedoctor maybe it's just the same code?
Save on maintenance and all that.
