open to first matched line and jump

[vincentaxhe]

can micro do like less +/function .zshrc, open file started with firsted matched line and can jump to next?
now It only able to micro +100 .zshrc to open at line 100

You can not only jump to the needed line but even jump to the exact character on the line, like so
micro file.txt:45:23

Note that you must enable the parsecursor option for this to work. It is disabled by default, so instead of opening "file.txt" at line 45 column 23 you would end up opening a file called "file.txt:45:23".

This doesn't answer the original question though...

ok, write a script to count row col and pipe to micro, that's too much, I image micro can do it, maybe not worthy.

[Andriamanitra]

@vincentaxhe You don't necessarily need a script, it can be done pretty easily using a subshell:

# with GNU grep
micro $(grep -Hn -m1 PATTERN FILENAME | cut -d: -f1-2)

# with ripgrep (gives column number too)
micro $(rg --vimgrep -m1 PATTERN FILENAME | cut -d: -f1-3)

ok, you try to be smart, it's not compatiable to normal way to use micro, it's better to write a mymicro.sh, but I will take a note of your code.
