Limit ack output. Helpful when finding matches in minified files but you don't want to see the entire file in the output.

ack-limit

#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: ack-limit REGEX [OPTIONS]"
    exit 1
fi

REGEX=$1
shift
ACK=$(which ack || which ack-grep)
$ACK -o ".{0,100}$REGEX.{0,100}" --pager="egrep \"$REGEX|$\" --color=always" "$@"
