It occurs to me that my last two posts (1, 2) could be quite useful together. So here’s a little one liner that will open the results of a search in helix at the correct line number:
hx (rg . -n | sk | cut -d : -f1,2)
sk will display each result with the filename, line, number, and text of the line, all separated by a colon. cut -d : -f1,2 splits the output of sk by the : character and returns the first and second fields, which are the file name and line number. Helix can interpret this as a direction to open the file at that line.
Handy. Now if only there was a Rust equivalent of cut…
