Hi,
I would like to search a string through multiple files. I like multi-occur a
lot. It would be great if it is possible to combine dired and multi-occur. I
want that multi-occur is applied to all marked files.
Let's say the name of the interactive function to do this is
"my-dired-multi-occur". If the user invokes this function via M-x
my-dired-multi-occur the user shall be asked for a search string. All marked
files shall be searched via dired. If the file does not contain the
search-string it shall be closed again.
I tried to write a function doing this. But I'm an elisp newbie and don't
get it.
(defun my-dired-multi-occur (string)
"Search string in files marked in dired."
(interactive "MSearch-String:")
(require 'dired)
(multi-occur (mapc 'find-file (dired-get-marked-files)) string))
I get the following result, when I'm invoking this function when I have
opened dired and marked three files: M-x my-dired-multi-occur
Search-String: init
Searched 0 buffers (3 killed); no matches for `init'
---
My problem seems to be that multi-occur is not getting a list of buffers.
The other problem I have: How can I close all files which do not contain the
search-string.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Dirk

You need to use `mapcar'.

You can examine the occur buffer afterwards with `occur-next',
`occur-mode-find-occurrence', `marker-buffer' and `buffer-file-name'.

Why not:
,----[ C-h k A ]
| A runs the command dired-do-search
| which is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `dired-aux'.
| It is bound to A, <menu-bar> <operate> <search>.
| (dired-do-search regexp)
|
| Search through all marked files for a match for regexp.
| Stops when a match is found.
| To continue searching for next match, use command M-,.

Also, traverselisp.el does all that and anything-traverse.el does that
incrementally. See:
