Subject: Missing `with' macro?
Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 12:17:29 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7dbe73ed0607240317g1bcdd564g66d075f809bcb7b2@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I am currently optimizing some defuns in tumme.el and found that I do
the following repeatdely:
(setq buf (find-file tumme-db-file))
;; do a lot of stuff in it
(save-buffer) ;; optionally
(kill-buffer buf)
I really like the different `with' macros that Emacs has and was
surprised there wasn't any `with-file' macro, that could be callable
like this:
(with-file tumme-db-file
;; do stuff)
It could have two modes, reading and writing as sometimes you just
want to use the information in the opened file, not write back to it.
I guess what I want is this, without the call to `insert-file-contents':
(with-temp-file tumme-db-file
(insert-file-contents tumme-db-file)
;; do stuff)
What do others think? Is the with-temp-file + insert-file-contents combo enough?
