Joost Kremers gave a good answer. I'll just add some "unrelated" comments:
- `find-file` should not be called from Elisp.
Use `find-file-noselect` instead.
- It's OK to temporarily change to another buffer, but your "eval"
should eventually return to the original buffer. Otherwise, do expect
weird behaviors. IOW wrap a `save/with-current-buffer` around your code.
