Subject: Narrowing to non-adjacent regions
Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 11:42:51 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fb5c72c1-f708-430d-8d4b-dffe105be5cc@d4g2000prg.googlegroups.com> (raw)

Hi,

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to narrow a buffer so that multiple
non-adjacent
regions are displayed.

The code snippet below doesn't work, but conveys what I'm looking for.

Many thanks!

Cheers,
David

(defun narrow-two ()
  (interactive "*")
  (widen)
  (goto-char (point-min))
  (let ((start-1 (point))
	(end-1 (progn (next-line 5) (point)))
	(start-2 (progn (next-line 7) (point)))
	(end-2 (progn (end-of-buffer) (point))))
  (narrow-to-region start-1 end-1)
  (narrow-to-region start-2 end-2)))
