Deleting matched lines by marking lines in *occur* buffer

Deleting matched lines by marking lines in *occur* buffer

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

Hi,

When I run M-x occur and get the following output

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
5 matches for "\.txt" in buffer: indices.conf
     14:cnx_midcap_baseline.txt
     16:cnx_nifty_jr_baseline.txt
     18:sp_cnx_500_baseline.txt
     20:sp_cnx_defty_baseline.txt
     22:sp_cnx_nifty_baseline.txt
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

is there a way to mark the lines in this buffer and expunge the lines
in the corresponding source buffer?  A dired like support would be
useful.  I did check the emacswiki and none of the other suggested
packages seem to have support for this sort of thing.

Any suggestions?  I suppose there's delete-matching-lines but wouldn't
it also be useful in the occur buffer?

Check out moccurr-edit.el at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/moccur-edit.el

I think it does what you are looking for, but I have never tried it.

You are looking for

	all.el

Install it with

	M-x list-packages

from GNU ELPA.
