prints files and numbers like './build.md:70'

[CarlQLange]

I wanted to be able to list files and numbers of matches so I could do a checklist-type-thing. So now, when you do ag -N "myMatch", (or ag --files-and-numbers "myMatch") it prints out a list of matching files like

file1.cpp:42
file1.cpp:57

file2.cpp:29

and you can use it with --nobreak to get rid of the newlines if you don't like them. It has coloured and uncoloured output and stuff too. 💛

By the way, great code! Haven't written C in a long time, the source was very legible and extensible. Let me know if I missed or broke anything!

Hello @CarlQLange,

I think you are using literal tabs rather than spaces - it breaks the indenting, as you can see here:

(I randomly stumbled across Ag and was looking at outstanding pull requests)

Ah, whoops - I will fix and commit later. I never remember to check whitespace when committing to other projects. Thanks a lot for your input, @samjsharpe :)

closing since I never got around to this and it's many many years later :)
