(buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position))

It's even easier now:


(funcall func (buffer-substring (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)))

Output in Emacs

[Dirk Joos]

Hi,

I'm working with GNU-Emacs and I want to know how I can print the 
content of a variable in the current buffer of emacs. What is the command?

Here an example:

(defun zahl()
(interactive)
(let ( (k 1) )
;at this place I want to print the content
;of the variable k in the actual buffer at the current
;cursorposition. In emacs the result should be 1 on the screen
)
)

This is just an example. I just want to know how I can print the content 
of a variable on the screen.

Thank you very much

Dirk

I think you're looking for 'insert':

  (defun foo ()
    (interactive)
    (let ((k 1))
      (insert (format "%d" k))))

You should adhere to the usual conventions for intending Lisp
code. This'll help other people to read it.

Edi.

and how to READ the contents of a buffer-line and then apply a function 
to it?

"indenting", not "intending".  :)
