Apply macro to region

Apply macro to region

[Marc Tfardy]

Hi,

I have a set of named macros. With apply-macro-to-region-lines command
I can apply last defined macro to each line of region. How can
I apply a named macro to region, except I define a "wrapper macro"
with C-x ( macro name C-x )? Any ideas?

regards

Marc

Narrow to the region apply the macro then widen.
C-x nn apply macro Cx nw 
Aternatively add the narrow and widen to your macro

Advise it to read a macro name (when preceded by C-u):

(defadvice apply-macro-to-region-lines (before read-named-macro activate)
   "With a prefix arg, read a named macro to apply (instead of the last 
macro)."
   (interactive
    (list (region-beginning)
          (region-end)
          (if current-prefix-arg
              (read-command "Name of keyboard macro to apply: ")))))

BTW, frequent users of apply-macro-to-region-lines might like this:
(global-set-key "\C-xE" 'apply-macro-to-region-lines)

I tried this already, but it is not so "beatuy". Nevertheless, thanx!
