Hi,

is it possible to have the 'global' command print the column where a match was found? I.e. the column number where the match begins:

hello.c:
int main() { }

$ global main -x --print-col
main                1:0 hello.c          int main() {

If that’s impossible, is the source code context on the right a unique identifier for the match, or could it happen that there are multiple matches, beginning at different columns, that have the same context?

Thanks
Jonas
