I gave the following responses when requested: Query replace in marked files (regexp): Diffusion_manager Query replace Diffusion_manager by: Diffusion To be clear, I'm trying to replace all occurrences of the string Diffusion_manager by Diffusion. However, it only seems to do a replacement in the first couple of files (as in the order displayed by dired), There are a lot of other files in the directory in question, which contain the string Diffusion_manager, but those strings aren't getting replaced. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I can give further details if useful. Please cc me on any reply if possible. I normally read this list via the newsgroup gnu.emacs.help, so might miss a reply. Thanks. Faheem.
