rgrep-find a separate frame?

rgrep-find a separate frame?

How can I have the results of 'M-x rgrep-find' appear in a separate
frame please? I'm doing a lot of parsing latex files for the words in
the glossary and creating each glossary-item from the rgrep buffer.

Thanks
Sharon.

Should it really be "rgrep-find", and not `grep-find',
or `rgrep'?

You're right, it should just be 'M-x rgrep' and followed by 'C-x `'
which then works its way through all the iterations that it has found.

But what I'm looking for is the ability to have 'C-x 5 2' automatically
to open up rgrep's findings in another frame.

Thanks
Sharon.

I don't use frames but windows which I'd recommend...
But unlike the moais of the Pua Mau valley, I'm not
cut in stone. Try this code. The "grep-frame" is what
you should use interactively (well, it is the only
thing you can use interactively). If it works bind it
to whatever shortcut, but note that `C-x 5 2' is
spoken for.

(defvar *grep-frame* nil)

(defun new-frame-show-grep ()
  (let ((new-frame (make-frame-command)))
    (setq *grep-frame* new-frame)
    (with-selected-frame new-frame
      (switch-to-buffer "*grep*") )))

(defun grep-frame ()
  (interactive)
  (if *grep-frame* (select-frame-set-input-focus *grep-frame*)
    (new-frame-show-grep) ))
