apply macro to region lines by name

Hello,

I created a macro and named it 'foo.' How do I call this macro by name when I want to apply it to a number of lines, somewhat like when you use M-x apply-macro-to-region-lines, but only I want to be able to tell it to use 'foo,' and not just have it use the last macro defined. Thanks!

Mark these lines, then apply the macro on this region.

`M-x foo'

Thanks, but that only applies the macro to the last line of the region. I want it to apply it to every line within the region.

How about you mark the region, then `M-='. This runs 
`count-lines-region'. And then run `M-<no_of_lines> M-x foo'

Its not very clean but that should do it.

That will work fine provided that the macro itself contains a command to
move to the next/previous line. Otherwise the same action will be done n
times on the one line the macro was run on.

HTH.

Isn't that one of the first things we learn when we learnt how to record 
a keyboard macro?

"Always make sure after the macro is done, we end up in a position so 
that the entire thing can be repeated again."
