Is there a way to display matching file information like file size, creation data etc

[ket000]

I can use -l to display filenames. However I am not sure if it can display file size , modified date etc. Basically running ls -l on returned file name that match the search. I can do it by passing to ls command, but just wanted to know if there is a built in support for this.

No, there isn't. I don't think there ever will be. You'll want to use ls or stat. man stat for example reveals a very long list of file metadata information. It would be impractical and unwise for ripgrep to reinvent this.

Thanks for confirming this as I am already using ls to display the info I need. My use case was to display filenames that has specific string and then display additional items and filesize from these files. I was able to use -l to get filenames and then eventully grep and ls command to display what I need. Just wanted confirmation that I am not doing any additional steps that are not needed.

Aye. And note you should be able to use rg instead of grep in that shell pipeline. :)

Yes, I can, but since I know already filename nd it is a vert simple search I have used grep. rg requires a folder name and a pattern to restrict search for a specific file. Since I already know the filename, I have used grep.

ripgrep does not require a directory. It searches pain files too. And stdin. It works just like grep in those cases.
