To apply a function to marked files in dired, use “dired-get-marked-
files”, like this:
;; idiom for processing a list of files in dired's marked files
;; suppose myProcessFile is your function that takes a file path
;; and do some processing on the file
(defun dired-myProcessFile ()
"apply myProcessFile function to marked files in dired."
(interactive)
(require 'dired)
(mapc 'myProcessFile (dired-get-marked-files))
)
you can read some other idioms here:
