There’s never been anything in ack to allow or disallow that. Those sorts of
expansions are probably done in the shell.
For example, try this:
$ echo foo={x,y,z} bar={a,b,c}
foo=x foo=y foo=z bar=a bar=b bar=c
That’s the shell expanding those, not ack.
If you’re often doing those sorts of ignores, put them in an .ackrc.
—ignore-dir=node
—ignore-dir=build
—ignore-file=ext:sql
—ignore-file=is:app.js
You can put them in ~/.ackrc in your home directory, or you can put an .ackrc
at the top of your project directory. The project-level .ackrc gives you more
flexibility.
As an aside: You don’t need the -r. That’s ack’s default.
