# rga - ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip, tar.gz, etc
|
|
|
|
rga is a tool to recursively search for text in many different types of files. It is based on the awesome [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep).

|
|
- jpg adapter (based on object classification / detection (yolo?)) for fun
|
|
- 7z adapter (couldn't find a nice to use rust library)
|
|
|
|
# considerations
|
|
|
|
- matching on mime (magic bytes) instead of filename
|
|
- allow per-adapter configuration options
|
|
|
|
# Setup
|
|
|
|
rga should compile with stable Rust. To install it, simply run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
apt install build-essential pandoc poppler-utils
|
|
cargo install ripgrep_all
|
|
|
|
rga --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some rga adapters run external binaries
|
|
|
|
# Development
|
|
|
|
To enable debug logging:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export RUST_LOG=debug
|
|
export RUST_BACKTRACE=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also rember to disable caching with `--rga-no-cache` or clear the cache in `~/.cache/rga` to debug the adapters.
