          ripgrep accepts file paths as arguments. So just pass your files as arguments:



          rg pattern file1 file2 ...


          If your list is in a file, with one path per line, then use xargs:



          xargs -d 'n' -a list-file rg pattern


          Or if it's a list generated from find, then:



          find ./ ... -print0 | xargs -0 rg pattern
