-l (list file matches) doesn't seem tow work

[marcosnils]

vgrep -l <some_text>

Doesn't seem to be printing anything. IIUC the files selector should do the same thing, but I couldn't find a way to make it work as a one liner. I'd have expected to do something like vgrep --no-header -s=files <some_textt> and I'm getting:

marcos:wl/clusters (master) $ vgrep --no-header -s=files test 
"files test" doesn't match format "command[context lines] [selectors]"```

ideas?

Thanks for opening the issue!

This scenario isn't supported, so we can't grep for text and open it in one command. The reasoning for that is to make using --show a bit more friendly and allow for --show a b c instead of --show="a b c" - following arguments are appended.
