Hi,
I have a file containing pathes to several other files I want to open
(actually it is just the buffer list of a previous session saved in a file).
Opening each file by hand from this list is a bit laborious. So I wonder if
there is a way to open all files contained in a list automatically in emacs?
Cheers & Thanks for all ideas,
Thomas

That's exactly what `desktop-save-mode' is made for.
,----[ C-h f desktop-save-mode RET ]
| desktop-save-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `desktop.el'.
|
| (desktop-save-mode &optional arg)
|
| Toggle desktop saving mode.
| With numeric arg, turn desktop saving on if arg is positive, off
| otherwise. If desktop saving is turned on, the state of Emacs is
| saved from one session to another. See variable `desktop-save'
| and function `desktop-read' for details.
`----
And also see the info docs:
,----[ (info "(emacs)Saving Emacs Sessions") ]
| Use the desktop library to save the state of Emacs from one session to
| another. Once you save the Emacs "desktop"--the buffers, their file
| names, major modes, buffer positions, and so on--then subsequent Emacs
| sessions reload the saved desktop.

Bye,
Tassilo

May be you can use desktop mode to save your session and restore all
your buffers.
But if you want to do that alone with a list of file name in a file, you
can do something like this:
,----
| ELISP> (defun open-all-my-files ()
| (save-excursion
| (find-file "file-containing-file-names")
| (goto-char (point-min))
| (while (not (eobp))
| (save-excursion
| (find-file (buffer-substring (point-at-bol)
| (point-at-eol)))
| (display-buffer (current-buffer)))
| (forward-line))
| (kill-buffer (current-buffer))))
`----
with a "file-containing-file-names" like:
,----
| /home/you/foo
| /home/you/bar
| /home/you/somefile

With already onboard functions :
M-x replace-regexp RET .+ RET \,(progn (save-match-data (find-file-noselect \&)) \&) RET
or when available
M-x shell-command-on-region RET xargs emacsclient -n RET
or a macro, approximatetly
C-x ( M-x ffap RET RET C-b RET C-n C-0 C-x e
or use a function which maps a regexp in a buffer using some function
much like the replace-regexp stuff above. I am curious whether
such a command already exists.
Now I am out of ideas.

depending on what you mean...
others has mentioned desktop mode...
if you want to open a bunch of marked files in dired, put
(require 'dired-x)
in your .emacs then you can
Alt+x dired-x and dired-do-find-marked-files.
If you have a list of paths, you can create this text
(find-file "path1")
(find-file "path2")
...
then select them then Alt+x eval-region.

There is also find-file-at-point (ffap) and
apply-macro-to-region-lines.

desktop-mode, dired+, or the file-processing function sounds like the
best best.
If you want to convert your file into a list of paths, however, you
could do something like the following:
(mapcar 'find-file '("~/.emacs" "~/site-lisp/w32-browser.el" "~/site-
lisp/twit.el" "/complete/path/to/file"))

Several methods have been mentioned. Another suggestion
would be to use bookmarks. You could either do this manually
or include them in a macro.
