Matcher

This is a standalone library that does the same fuzzy-find matching as Command-T.vim. It is a fork of @burke's project that implements the algorithm in C. This project implements the algorithm in both Ruby and C (as a Ruby extension), using Ruby for everything but the core matching algorithm. There is also a pure Ruby implementation of the algorithm that will be automatically used in environemts where the C extension cannot be build.

Installation

$ ./build.rb

Once the extension is built (or not, if you cannot build it in your environment), create a symbolic link to bin/pmatch.

Usage

The pmatch command searches for a string in a list of filenames and returns the ones it thinks you are most likely referring to. It works exactly like fuzzy-finder, Command-T, and so on.

Usage:

$ pmatch [options] <search>

Options:

• --limit: The number of matches to return (default no limit).
• --scores: Display the score in front of each match, separated by a space.
• --no-sort: Don't sort the matches (perhaps useful if you wanted to offload sorting to the sort utility using the --scores option).

Examples

$ pmatch --limit 5 customer.rb filelist.txt
$ find . | pmatch order

Using with CtrlP.vim

let g:path_to_pmatch = "/path/to/pmatch"

let g:ctrlp_user_command = ['.git/', 'cd %s && git ls-files . -co --exclude-standard']

let g:ctrlp_match_func = { 'match': 'GoodMatch' }

function! GoodMatch(items, str, limit, mmode, ispath, crfile, regex)
  " a:mmode is currently ignored. In the future, we should probably do
  " something about that. pmatch behaves like "full-line".
  let cmd = 'pmatch --limit ' . a:limit . ' ' . a:str
  return split(system(cmd, join(a:items, "\n")."\n"))
endfunction
