# rga: ripgrep, but also search in PDFs, E-Books, Office documents, zip, tar.gz, etc.
|
|
|
|
rga is a line-oriented search tool that allows you to look for a regex in a multitude of file types. rga wraps the awesome [ripgrep] and enables it to search in pdf, docx, sqlite, jpg, movie subtitles (mkv, mp4), etc.

For more detail, see this introductory blogpost: https://phiresky.github.io/blog/2019/rga--ripgrep-for-zip-targz-docx-odt-epub-jpg/
|
|
|
|
rga will recursively descend into archives and match text in every file type it knows.
|
|
|
|
Here is an [example directory](https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all/tree/master/exampledir/demo) with different file types:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
demo/
|
|
├── greeting.mkv
|
|
├── hello.odt
|
|
├── hello.sqlite3
|
|
└── somearchive.zip
|
|
├── dir
|
|
│ ├── greeting.docx
|
|
│ └── inner.tar.gz
|
|
│ └── greeting.pdf
|
|
└── greeting.epub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Integration with fzf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can use rga interactively via fzf. Add the following to your ~/.{bash,zsh}rc:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rga-fzf() {
|
|
RG_PREFIX="rga --files-with-matches"
|
|
local file
|
|
file="$(
|
|
FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="$RG_PREFIX '$1'" \
|
|
fzf --sort --preview="[[ ! -z {} ]] && rga --pretty --context 5 {q} {}" \
|
|
--phony -q "$1" \
|
|
--bind "change:reload:$RG_PREFIX {q}" \
|
|
--preview-window="70%:wrap"
|
|
)" &&
|
|
echo "opening $file" &&
|
|
xdg-open "$file"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And for your `~/.config/fish/config.fish`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
function rga-fzf
|
|
set RG_PREFIX 'rga --files-with-matches'
|
|
if test (count $argv) -gt 1
|
|
set RG_PREFIX "$RG_PREFIX $argv[1..-2]"
|
|
end
|
|
set -l file $file
|
|
set file (
|
|
FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="$RG_PREFIX '$argv[-1]'" \
|
|
fzf --sort \
|
|
--preview='test ! -z {} && \
|
|
rga --pretty --context 5 {q} {}' \
|
|
--phony -q "$argv[-1]" \
|
|
--bind "change:reload:$RG_PREFIX {q}" \
|
|
--preview-window='50%:wrap'
|
|
) && \
|
|
echo "opening $file" && \
|
|
open "$file"
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## INSTALLATION
|
|
|
|
Linux x64, macOS and Windows binaries are available [in GitHub Releases][latestrelease].
|
|
|
|
[latestrelease]: https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all/releases/latest
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
#### Arch Linux
|
|
|
|
`pacman -S ripgrep-all`.
|
|
|
|
#### Nix
|
|
|
|
`nix-env -iA nixpkgs.ripgrep-all`
|
|
|
|
#### Debian-based
|
|
|
|
download the [rga binary][latestrelease] and get the dependencies like this:
|
|
|
|
`apt install ripgrep pandoc poppler-utils ffmpeg`
|
|
|
|
If ripgrep is not included in your package sources, get it from [here](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/releases).
|
|
|
|
rga will search for all binaries it calls in \$PATH and the directory itself is in.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
Install ripgrep-all via [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/packages/ripgrep-all):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
choco install ripgrep-all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that installing via chocolatey or scoop is the only supported download method. If you download the binary from releases manually, you will not get the dependencies (for example pdftotext from poppler).
|
|
|
|
If you get an error like `VCRUNTIME140.DLL could not be found`, you need to install [vc_redist.x64.exe](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads).
|
|
|
|
### Homebrew/Linuxbrew
|
|
|
|
`rga` can be installed with [Homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/ripgrep-all#default):
|
|
|
|
`brew install rga`
|
|
|
|
To install the dependencies that are each not strictly necessary but very useful:
|
|
|
|
`brew install pandoc poppler tesseract ffmpeg`
|
|
|
|
### Compile from source
|
|
|
|
rga should compile with stable Rust (v1.36.0+, check with `rustc --version`). To build it, run the following (or the equivalent in your OS):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~$ apt install build-essential pandoc poppler-utils ffmpeg ripgrep cargo
|
|
~$ cargo install --locked ripgrep_all
|
|
~$ rga --version # this should work now
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

The following adapters are disabled by default, and can be enabled using '--rga-adapters=+foo,bar':

## FLAGS:
|

|
|
**\--rga-accurate**
|
|
|
|
> Use more accurate but slower matching by mime type
|
|
>
|
|
> By default, rga will match files using file extensions. Some programs,
|
|
> such as sqlite3, don\'t care about the file extension at all, so users
|
|
> sometimes use any or no extension at all. With this flag, rga will try
|
|
> to detect the mime type of input files using the magic bytes (similar
|
|
> to the \`file\` utility), and use that to choose the adapter.
|
|
> Detection is only done on the first 8KiB of the file, since we can\'t
|
|
> always seek on the input (in archives).
|
|
|
|
**\--rga-no-cache**
|
|
|
|
> Disable caching of results
|
|
>
|
|
> By default, rga caches the extracted text, if it is small enough, to a
|
|
> database in \${XDG*CACHE_DIR-\~/.cache}/ripgrep-all on Linux,
|
|
> *\~/Library/Caches/ripgrep-all\_ on macOS, or
|
|
> C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\ripgrep-all on Windows. This way,
|
|
> repeated searches on the same set of files will be much faster. If you
|
|
> pass this flag, all caching will be disabled.

## Development
|
|
|
|
To enable debug logging:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export RUST_LOG=debug
|
|
export RUST_BACKTRACE=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also remember to disable caching with `--rga-no-cache` or clear the cache
|
|
(`~/Library/Caches/rga` on macOS, `~/.cache/rga` on other Unixes,
|
|
or `C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\rga` on Windows)
|
|
to debug the adapters.
|
|
|
|
### Nix and Direnv
|
|
|
|
You can use the provided [`flake.nix`](./flake.nix) to setup all build- and
|
|
run-time dependencies:
|
|
|
|
1. Enable [Flakes](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flakes) in your Nix configuration.
|
|
1. Add [`direnv`](https://direnv.net/) to your profile:
|
|
`nix profile install nixpkgs#direnv`
|
|
1. `cd` into the directory where you have cloned this directory.
|
|
1. Allow use of [`.envrc`](./.envrc): `direnv allow`
|
|
1. After the dependencies have been installed, your shell will now have all of
|
|
the necessary development dependencies.
