Subject: dired command on marked files
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:13:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <g36dvo$h5b$1@tamarack.fernuni-hagen.de> (raw)

Hi,

    I would like to use dired to create some plots using
    xmgrace/gracebat. My idea is to mark some files and plot
    them all into one diagram using something like:

    gracebat <file1> <file2> ... <file n> -pexec 'subtitle "<title>"'  -hardcopy -hdevice EPS -printfile "<name>"
 
   Generally, I would use 'call-process' , but I have no clue, how I can create a call with variable number of files (depending on the marks).
   In the end, emacs should ask for the 'title' and 'name'.
 
   Does anyone have an idea or any suggestion, how I should do that?
   Thanks!

Greetings!
 Fabian
