How to open all files in a directory?

How to open all files in a directory?

[Pony]

Hello everyboday,

do you know is there a way to open all the files in one directory?
instead of opening it one by one...

Thanks.

You could start emacs-server and use emacsclient ...

Another option is to load dired-x. Then you'll have in dired-mode the  
find-file function, bound to F. This opens all marked files.

With Emacs there is always a way - no, several ways. ;-)

`C-x C-f * RET' will open all files in the current directory (or `C-x C-f .*
RET' if you also want the dot files). Each file is visited in a buffer, but the
buffers are not all displayed. Use `C-x C-b' to access buffers.

File-name globbing (wildcards) always works with commands such as `find-file'
(`C-x C-f') when you hit `RET'.

Thanks.

I think I didn't make myself clear.
I use ido mode in Emacs, which means when you input `C-x C-f * RET' ,
emacs will open a new file named " * " instead of open all the files.

At present I just close the ido mode first, then open all files, and
open ido mode again.
I'd like to know whether there is a smarter way to do this.

EMACS makes me want to be much more lazyer!!       ^_^

When in ido-mode press C-f .This disables ido for the moment.
