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

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
