Grep for String and open at the corresponding line

Question

I\'m having several occurrences of a specific string over several files in several lines obtained with grep.

$ grep -rn --include=\"*.cpp\" mystring         


        

Answer 1

A trick to use vim as a pager is to pass it a hyphen character. This causes it to read from STDIN instead of from file

grep -rn --include="*.cpp" mystring | vim -
