Searching for literal "> \" using ack-grep
- by Stephen Gornick
I am looking for lines that literally have a greater than character (a "") followed by a space followed by a backslash character (a "\")
i.e., a line with this: \
I thought escaping would allow this, and for the greater-than it does:
$ ack-grep " "
returns lines that have " " in them.
But when I try to escape the backslash as well I get:
$ ack-grep " \"
ack-grep: Invalid regex ' \':
Trailing \ in regex m/ \/
