Subject: How to supply the current word as a parameter to grep?
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2008 05:01:31 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <388a3e6b-72ee-4f6d-8578-d503d794d9e8@j22g2000hsf.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,

I have the following entries in my .emacs:

(global-set-key [(control shift f)] 'grep)
(setq grep-command "cd ~/work && find -name \"*.cpp\" -or -name \"*.h
\" | xargs grep -nH -e ")

I'd like have the current word supplied as a parameter to grep
whenever I hit the above key combination.
How do I accomplish that?

Thanks,

-Etay Meiri
